Noel Gallagher, Them Crooked Vultures & Arctic Monkeys are just some of the acts lined-up to play this year's run of Teenage Cancer Trust shows.
The 10-night extravaganza will celebrate 10 years of TCT gigs at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Them Crooked Vultures will kick off proceedings on Monday, March 22. The Wednesday night (March 24) will see the reformed Suede take the stage, while Noel Gallagher will make his only planned appearances of 2010 on Thursday 25 and Friday 26. Arctic Monkeys will play the Royal Albert Hall for the very first time on the Saturday night (March 27).
The Who will wrap things up on Tuesday 30 with a performance of Quadrophenia. Roger Daltrey CBE, Patron of Teenage Cancer Trust, had this to say: "When The Who first got together in 2000 to raise money for this brilliant charity, I had no idea we'd achieve so much from these shows. In the last ten years we've raised over £8.7 million, helping Teenage Cancer Trust to open nine more specialist cancer units for young people across the UK. I'm forever inspired by the support I have received from the artists and members of the music and comedy industries. This year has been no exception and it's thanks to them that our 10th anniversary shows are set to break all records for Teenage Cancer Trust."
Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 5 and can be purchased from www.aloud.com.
