Story

After the tragic suicide of Chester Bennington we decided more needed to be done to help the rock and alternative community, and so the UPRAWR Mental Health Foundation was born.

Providing 100% mental health counselling and support to the Alt community.

Now to raise money to provide more counselling and help more people, we've created the ultimate rock event of EPIC proportions.

Named after Linkin Park's 'One More Light' tour, which marked Chester Bennington's final ever performance, prepare for 1000 Lights.

Imagine this: Europe's premier Linkin Park tribute band igniting the stage, while colossal video messages play from rock legends, illuminating the arena's mega screens. Top UK alt bands take the mic, sharing their stories and support, and 1000 musicians perform 2 Linkin Park tracks alongside some of the biggest names in the UK alt scene. Such names include Funeral For a Friend, Holding Absence, Caskets, The Blackout + MANY MORE to be announced.

About the charity

We provide free counselling to people aged 18 and 35 that relate to the alternative & rock music scene. Running sessions online, and from UPRAWR Studios, we turned our studio rooms into relaxed counselling suits so people can talk to councillors they to relate to in a non-clinical environment.
