Cancer kills more teenagers and young adults in the UK than any other disease. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer, funding specialist nurses, youth workers and 28 hospital units within the NHS.
Its Royal Albert Hall fundraising concert series was launched and curated by Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron Sir Roger Daltrey, who was knighted for services to charity and music earlier this year, from 2000 to 2025. The headline set by the Manic Street Preachers on Thursday 26 March will be the 150th show.
This year’s curator Robert Smith is the first in a series of guest curators who will take on the mantle of raising money for this vital cause in future.
