They have collaborated with <strong>WarChild UK<\/strong> as part of the <strong>RISING<\/strong> campaign, helping to raise funds for children affected by war around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the band achieved another milestone by headlining their first festival at Sutton United FC&#8217;s Sutton Summer Festival, which helped to promote the club&#8217;s 23\/24 kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to their growing list of accomplishments is something seriously unbelievable. <strong>The Ariston<\/strong> had the opportunity to portray the legendary punk rock band <strong>The Clash<\/strong> in the upcoming feature film \u2018Bob Marley: One Love\u2019, set to be released on Valentine&#8217;s Day 2024.
