Help (2) War Child Records Limited edition

Oasis have generously contributed an exclusive live version of the fan-favourite, ‘Acquiesce (Live from Wembley Stadium, 28 September ‘25)’. This is available as a hidden track on the CD.

"HELP(2)" is inspired by the 1995 milestone release "HELP", created by War Child Records to raise funds for charity and support children around the world affected by military conflict. Through the project, resources were delivered for education, first aid, and mental health support.

The follow-up, "HELP(2)", backs the same cause and was recorded across just one extraordinary week at Abbey Road Studios in November 2025, led by acclaimed producer James Ford.

The tracklist features a truly exceptional lineup of some of the music world’s biggest artists—spanning both newer and long-established names. The roster includes Anna Calvi, Arctic Monkeys, Arlo Parks, Arooj Aftab, Bat For Lashes, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Black Country, New Road, Cameron Winter, Damon Albarn, Depeche Mode, Dove Ellis, Ellie Rowsell, English Teacher, Ezra Collective, Foals, Fontaines D.C., Graham Coxon, Greentea Peng, Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest, King Krule, Nilüfer Yanya, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg and Young Fathers.

The improvisational spirit of the 90s recording process has been preserved for this new edition. Artists worked closely across sessions and collaborations—most notably Damon Albarn teaming up with Johnny Marr, Kae Tempest, and Grian Chatten, as well as Olivia Rodrigo collaborating with Graham Coxon.
