The Who, James Arthur and The Corrs are among the acts performing at the annual Teenage Cancer Trust concert series at the Royal Albert Hall in London in March.
The Who, James Arthur and The Corrs are among the artists performing at the annual Teenage Cancer Trust gigs at the Royal Albert Hall.
The legendary rock band - comprised of guitarist Pete Townshend and singer Roger Daltre, who started the concert series to raise money for the charity - lead the heavyweight bill with the shows taking place between March 24 and March 31.
Night one will kick off on March 24 with The Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter kicking off the TCT shows.
Sex Pistols Steve Jones, 69, said: "After an incredible 2024, we are itching to get going again this year and what better way than on home territory at a venue that wouldn't have let us near it back in the day!
"Albert will be turning in his tomb. It's an honour to help this great charity."
The Corrs - formed of siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr - won critical acclaim for their 'Talk On Corners' arena tour in 2024, and they are very excited to be performing at the charity event on March 28.
Singer Andrea, 50, said: "We're thrilled to be performing at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust.
"This charity is close to our hearts because it provides essential care and support to young people facing the toughest battles of their lives.
"Music has an incredible way of bringing people together and inspiring hope. Being part of this event means so much to us, not only as performers but as admirers of the work Teenage Cancer Trust does.
"It will be a special night.”
During the essential week of events, the three-time BRIT Award-nominated artist James Arthur will be launching his sixth studio album, 'PISCES', which explores themes of vulnerability, mental health, and self-acceptance, continuing his exploration of these personal issues but with a fresh, more experimental sound - a stark contrast to his previous work.
Having 11 Platinum singles in the UK to his name for hits like ‘Impossible’, ‘Can I Be Him’ and 'Naked', the 36-year-old performer said: "I’ve always admired the great work Teenage Cancer Trust does for young people when they are going through such difficult times.
"It’s an honour to be asked to be part of it and I can’t wait to perform to support the great work that the charity does.”
Also performing during the week include the jazz-funk band Level 42, who are supporting The Who, 62-year-old comedian Micky Flanagan and 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' 2024 star GK Barry, 25.
Tickets go on sale via the official Teenage Cancer Trust website at 9am on Friday, January 31.
