Plan B will perform at a benefit gig for the victims of the recent flooding in Pakistan, it's been announced.

The rapper-turned-singer will headline the event, dubbed Party For Pakistan, at Islington Academy in London on September 29.

Kayvan Novak, better known as Fonejacker, will perform his first ever live set, while Riz MC and Nero also also set to appear.

Other artists on the bill include Aggro Santos, Akala and BBC Radio 1’s DJ Nihal and Bobby Friction.

Novak said: “Pls give me ur monies for to help for the floods...and while ur at it, bring ur bank account and sort code pls. madame Brian badonde is also looking forward to bem-cee-ing over bub-step for barite.”

The floods in Pakistan have killed 1600 people, although that figure is expected to rise in the coming months. Over 1 million homeshave also been destroyed.

All artists will be performing for free at the event later this month. Tickets cost £10 in advance or £12.50 on the door.

All ticket profits will go directly to the Disasters Emergency Committee.
