The line up for the 14th year of fundraising concerts include The Who, Wilko Johnson, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Future Islands, Paul Weller, Johnny Marr, Stereophonics, Van Morrison and Kevin Bridges.
Teenage Cancer Trust patron and The Who front man, Roger Daltrey has been the driving force behind the concerts which have raised over £20 million for young people with cancer since they began in 2000. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the first Teenage Cancer Trust show at the Royal Albert Hall in 2000.
Roger Daltrey, said "To be back for our fifteenth year at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust is an incredible achievement. This is all made possible by the loyalty of the music and comedy business. Paul, Noel and Kelly were there for the first event, and many thereafter. I can't thank them enough for being back with us this year.
"I'm always amazed by, and appreciative of, the support given to the charity by the new artists each year, who recognise the importance Teenage Cancer Trusts work. As well as increasing the charity's profile, the money the shows raise is invaluable in helping young people with cancer, and in return for that hard earned cash we always strive to put on some very special shows."
The music and comedy shows are Teenage Cancer Trust's flagship annual fundraising event. The money raised makes a massive difference to the lives of thousands of young people with cancer across the UK. As the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting teenagers and young adults with cancer, Teenage Cancer Trust relies on donations to fund a range of services that aim to improve their quality of life and chances of survival. All proceeds from the shows go towards providing this specialist care and support for young people with cancer.
