Tickets have gone on sale today for the huge 2025 series of Teenage Cancer Trust concerts, taking place at the Royal Albert Hall between March 24th and March 31st. TikTok and podcaster extraordinaire GK Barry is the face of this year's line-up, where she will also be performing alongside stellar line-up; including The Who. The Corrs, James Arthur, Micky Flanagan, and The Sex Pistols w/ Frank Carter.
The concert series will kick off on Monday 24 March with the “rip-roaring punk rock redux” (The Guardian) of The Sex Pistols with Frank Carter. The re-imagined take on the punk icons will play their seminal album ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ in full, being joined on the night by special guests Kid Kapichi and The Molotovs.
This riotous night will be followed by side-splitting laughter as Micky Flanagan continues the annual tradition of 'A night of comedy' on Tuesday 25 March. Micky has risen to being one of the premier names in UK comedy, and will joined on the night by a stacked line-up featuring some of the biggest and best comics on the circuit.
On Wednesday the 26th of March we return to live music as former X-Factor winner James Arthur takes to the stage. This show will be extremely special given the release of his sixth studio album PISCES will have taken place less than a week before. The album features some of James' most emotionall raw songs to date, such as ‘ADHD’ and the most recent single ‘Celebrate’. James will be joined on the night by special guests which are yet to be announced, so be sure to keep an eye out.

The Thursday night (March 27th) of the concert series will see rock legends The Who play the first of two headline shows during the 2025 series. The concert series is always particularly special for The Who given their frontman Roger Daltrey CBE founded the series in 2000. He stepped back from figurehead duties last year but remains a proud Honorary Patron of the charity. The night will be full of some of the most iconic songs of all time, in the most picturesque of settings. The Who will be joined on the night by special guests Level 42, who are icons themselves. This line-up was so nice, we had to get it twice. Both The Who and Level 42 will return again on the concert series' closing night (March 31st) providing a second opportunity to see musical legends.
Friday night will see one of Ireland's greatest ever acts The Corrs take over the Royal Albert Hall. Coming off the back of a massive year of touring, there may be no better time to see the family band. The Corrs will also be joined by an unannounced special guest, making the night even bigger. Ahead of their show on Friday 28 March, Andrea Corr says: “We're thrilled to be performing at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust. This charity is close to our hearts because it provides essential care and support to young people facing the toughest battles of their lives. Music has an incredible way of bringing people together and inspiring hope. Being part of this event means so much to us, not only as performers but as admirers of the work Teenage Cancer Trust does. It will be a special night.”
The Saturday night will see the comedy line-up completed as this year's face GK Barry will host a special show 'GK Barry Live! With very special guests'. Grace has fast gained a reputation online for being one of the most charismatic personalities around, and a huge 2024 which saw her appear on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! has only seen her stock rise in the mainstream. This show will undoubtely provide a night to remember
About Teenage Cancer Trust:
"Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. Cancer kills more teenagers and young adults in the UK than any other disease. And for those who survive, going through it without the right support can be devastating – physically and emotionally. Every day, more than seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. By 2030 that number will be closer to 10. There’s never been a worse time to receive that news, with healthcare services under enormous pressure.
Money from these iconic gigs at the Royal Albert Hall means Teenage Cancer Trust can fund specialist nurses and youth workers to be there for a young person when cancer has turned their world upside down. Cancer rates in young people in the UK have gone up by a quarter since the early 1990s. And by 2030, it’s projected that the number of young people living with a cancer diagnosis will be 65% higher.
Since 2000, over £34 million has been raised by Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, and that money has helped fund specialist nurses, hospital units and support services right across the UK that help get young people through some unimaginably hard times.
As ever, the Ultimate Backstage Experience will be run for young people from across the country, who are being supported by Teenage Cancer Trust. Every day, these groups will visit the Royal Albert Hall to enjoy an unforgettable experience. From the moment they arrive, they’ll enjoy access and opportunities that money can’t buy, before taking their place in some of the best seats in the house to watch the shows in style.
