Teenage Cancer Trust Royal Albert Hall 2025: A Week of Music for a Vital Cause
25 Years of Music and Hope at the Royal Albert Hall
To mark the 25th anniversary of Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall, the iconic venue is once again hosting a week of spectacular concerts in March 2025. This year’s concerts take place between Monday 24th – Sunday 30th March, featuring an impressive lineup of music and comedy acts all dedicated to supporting young people battling cancer.
The Importance of Teenage Cancer Trust
Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. The funds raised through these annual concerts are crucial for maintaining specialist services. This year, the concerts have raised a phenomenal £2.05 million helping provide the specialist care and support young people need, ensuring they have the right support around them during one of life’s most challenging times.
Star-Studded 2025 Lineup
The 2025 series features an exceptional array of talent. This year’s line-up included Frank Carter with Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, James Arthur, The Who, The Corrs and a special night curated by independent label Erased Tapes. Micky Flanagan leads the legendary night of comedy on Tuesday 25 March, whilst James Arthur will take to the Royal Albert Hall stage on Wednesday 26th March.
Adding to the excitement, podcaster and social media sensation GK Barry serves as the face of the 2025 series, bringing her special show to Saturday 29th March. British artist and Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett has re-designed his iconic Teenage Cancer Trust logo for 2025, celebrating the milestone anniversary.
Looking Ahead: Robert Smith to Curate 2026
The future of these concerts remains bright. Plans for 2026 shows are being curated by Robert Smith of The Cure, ensuring the tradition continues. The Royal Albert Hall has been hosting concerts in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust since 2000, with the series originally founded by The Who’s Roger Daltrey, who remains an honorary patron.
These concerts represent more than just entertainment—they’re a lifeline for young people facing cancer, demonstrating the power of music to unite communities and save lives.
