Common, Natasha Bedingfield, and Mon Rovîa to Headline “Children in Conflict Show”
On December 11, 2025, music, comedy, and global conscience will collide under one historic roof when Children in Conflict brings a powerful benefit concert to the Brooklyn Paramount Theater. Headlined by Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Common, global pop hitmaker Natasha Bedingfield, and rising artist Mon Rovîa, and hosted by John Oliver, the Children in Conflict Show aims to turn a single night of music into meaningful support for children living through war and displacement.
More than a star-studded lineup, the evening is designed as a rallying point for artists, fans, and the wider creative community to stand with kids whose lives have been shattered by conflict. From education and mental health services to safe spaces in war zones, the funds raised will directly fuel Children in Conflict’s work on the frontlines.
“We work in places where childhood itself is under attack,” said Dr. Kim McCall, Executive Director of Children in Conflict. “This concert is about restoring joy, connection, and possibility—reminding the world that even in war, children’s dreams are worth fighting for.”
The December 11 concert will feature dynamic sets from Common, Natasha Bedingfield, and Mon Rovîa, with additional surprise guests and special collaborations still to be announced. Beyond the music, the Children in Conflict Show is a call to the industry to turn visibility into action—transforming creativity into advocacy and awareness into tangible support.
“The children are ours all over the world,” said Mon Rovîa. “If we ignore that, we are already lost. I was rescued from war as a child, how could I not return? Every face resembles someone I left behind. The harder task is helping those raised in safety see that our futures are bound together, that a child’s suffering anywhere is a fracture everywhere. Music and organizations like the CIC are important bridges that lead to action.”
