Chase & Status to perform in front of 20,000 fans

Chase & Status are expected to perform in front of 20,000 spectators in the stands. Charlton Athletic's home ground has an official capacity of slightly over 27,000, meaning that fans will fill most of the stadium during the charity match.

The duo released their 6th studio album earlier this year, titled What Came Before. To commemorate their latest project, they also announced a new single, "Mixed Emotions." It remains to be seen if the duo will showcase their latest tracks on the day of the event.

Despite being rather active on social media, Chase & Status is yet to respond to the announcement. Nonetheless, they are expected to enact their music live at The Valley next week. The official schedule is yet to be announced; however, the kick-off is predicted to be at 3 PM UK time.

Apart from the pre-match musical show, fans will also have the opportunity to try out the various delicacies on offer from the Sidemen's restaurant chain, Sides. The Eat Sides was announced by the UK YouTube group in 2021 and is part of their expansion into the Food & Beverage (F&B) world.
