Everything Everything and New Young Pony Club are among the acts set to appear at a special fundraising event in London next month.

The Fabric4X gig, at Fabric on November 11, aims to raise money for Fragile X Syndrome, which is the most common genetic form of inherited mental impairment.

Fragile X Syndrome affects 1.4 million people worldwide and around 17.5 million people carry the Fragile X Syndrome gene.

Currently there are many medications and therapies that can help suffers of the disease but no cure has yet been found.
