Line-up announced for annual Royal Albert Hall fundraiser

The line-up has been announced for this year's Teenage Cancer Trust benefit at the Royal Albert Hall.

The fundraiser will feature Alan Carr, Harry Hill, Russell Kane, Seann Walsh, Rosie Jones, Slim and Neil Delamere.

It is part of a week of events at the prestigious London venue overseen by  The Who's Roger Daltrey which also features music gigs from  Underworld, Wet Leg, Jake Bugg, Courteeners and Kasabian.

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!'

And Katie Collins, chief executive of the Teenage Cancer Trust, said:  'These amazing gigs and their fantastic line-ups 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.'

 Tickets go on sale at 9.30am on Friday here.
