Charity five-a-side tournament Indie Music Cup returns in June
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 20 May 2016
Following its inaugural outing last year, music industry charity five-a-side football tournament the Indie Music Cup returns next month – renamed from the Indie Label Cup to reflect the expanded number of teams competing.
This year the event will raise money for Medecins Sans Frontieres, with teams from Resident Advisor, Domino, Boiler Room Ladies, Bella Union, PRS For Music, Last FM, Heavenly, 4AD, Mixmag, Secretly United, Bonafide, Transgressive, Mute, The Vinyl Factory, Ninja Tune and R&S all competing.
“It’s great that so many companies in the music industry are coming together to support the work of MSF”, says James Kliffen, the charity’s Head Of Fundraising. “A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this tournament happen. We’re an independently funded organisation and so depend on this kind of generous support from members of the public, in order to carry out our life saving work. MSF provides emergency assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics and natural or man-made disasters without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion and gender or political affiliation”.
The tournament takes place on 4 Jun, with DJ sets from Throwing Shade and others in addition to the football. Find out more about the event here, and donate money here.
