So, who is performing at the Albert Hall tonight and what is the full lineup for the Teenage Cancer Trust? Here’s everything you need to know.

What is the Teenage Cancer Trust?

Teenage Cancer Trust is the only charity in the UK which is dedicated to providing care and support to young people from the ages of 13-24 who have cancer. They fund specialised nurses, support workers and hospital units in the NHS to ensure young people have staff and facilities to support them. They also run events for teenagers with cancer and provide easy to read information.

The charity has been putting on Teenage Cancer Trust gigs since 2000, since then the concerts at the Royal Albert Hall have raised over £32 million.

Reported by Ticketmaster, Roger Daltrey CBE, Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron spoke about the gigs, Daltrey 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!”
