After selling out the Royal Albert Hall at the Proms 2015, ten years on Erased Tapes returns with an all-star lineup in support of Teenage Cancer Trust. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 19th March.

Headlined by legendary ensemble Penguin Cafe, the line-up also features English contemporary songsmith Douglas Dare, London-based German composer, drummer and filmmaker Daniel Brandt with an exclusive preview of his brand new multimedia spectacle Without Us, which will premiere in full at the Barbican Hall next month, and the exceptional Japanese voice artist Hatis Noit.
