Teenage Cancer Trust is returning to the Royal Albert Hall in March for its annual concert series.
Taking place from 20th to 25th March 2023, the series will see headline performances from Underworld, Wet Leg, Courteneers and Kasabian, with an Evening of Comedy line-up to be announced soon.
The series raises money for Teenage Cancer Trust and is driven by Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron and The Who icon, Roger Daltrey.
Other acts announced today including CMAT and Honeyglaze, who will be supporting Wet Leg, and The Snuts who will be supporting Kasabian.
Since 2000, over £32 million has been raised by Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. That money has helped fund specialist nurses, hospital units and support services right across the UK that help get young people through some unimaginably hard times.
This year also sees the return of the Ultimate Backstage Experience for young people being cared for at Teenage Cancer Trust units around the country. Every day, these groups will visit the Royal Albert Hall to enjoy an unforgettable experience. From the moment they arrive, they’ll enjoy access and opportunities that money can’t buy, before taking their place in some of the best seats in the house to watch the shows in style.
Roger Daltrey CBE, Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron, and mastermind behind the gigs, said:
‘The generosity of the people who work in the music and comedy industries never ceases to amaze me. In this, our 21st year, after two years of artists having no shows at all, at a time where the only certain paydays are from live performances, artists are willing to give up their earnings from a London show.
‘It shows us that miracles are everywhere, but if you cough or sneeze you’d miss them!
‘I’m happy to announce the Royal Albert Hall week for Teenage Cancer Trust!’
Katie Collins, Chief Executive, Teenage Cancer Trust, said: ‘These amazing gigs and their fantastic lineups help us change lives. Because of Roger, the artists, the teams who make these gigs possible and everyone who buys a ticket, we can make sure young people don’t face cancer alone and continue to provide the vital, expert care and support that is crucial for young people with cancer.’
