A number of people involved in the shows commented:

GK Barry:

“I went to a Teenage Cancer Trust at Royal Albert Hall gig in 2024 and it was such an amazing night, so it’s incredible that as well as becoming a new ambassador for the charity, I’m also performing at the gigs alongside such iconic names.

I wanted to get involved with Teenage Cancer Trust because a lot of my followers are teenagers and young people. I think it’s so amazing to support a cause that could help my audience and their friends or a loved one.

Being a teenager is hard enough as it is, so if there’s anything I can do alongside the charity to help to support the people they work with, I’m there!”

Steve Jones (Sex Pistols):

“After an incredible 2024, we are itching to get going again this year and what better way than on home territory at a venue that wouldn’t have let us near it back in the day! Albert will be turning in his tomb. It’s an honor to help this great charity.”

Kate Collins, chief executive of Teenage Cancer Trust:

“We are delighted that some of the biggest names from across the music, and entertainment industry are performing at this year’s Teenage Cancer Trust gigs at the Royal Albert Hall. We couldn’t be more grateful for their commitment to raising vital funds for young people with cancer.

These concerts, brainchild of — and driven by — the legendary Roger Daltrey since 2000, have raised a phenomenal £34 million to fund Teenage Cancer Trust’s work across the U.K. — making our specialist support possible across the U.K. so that young people with cancer get the expert, individual care and support they need at this unique and critical stage of their lives.

These gigs would not exist without Roger, who remains a tireless Honorary Patron for the charity and is unstoppable in his support for young people with cancer.

Teenage Cancer Trust exists because cancer care wasn’t made for young people. Without us, a young person diagnosed with cancer today would find themselves lumped together with small children or much older adults. It’s only thanks to our supporters that we can continue to be there for every young person who needs us.

We’re deeply thankful to everyone who is involved in making these concerts possible — from the artists and the teams to the people who buy tickets to the shows.

This year’s lineup will be an incredible week of live music and comedy that you won’t want to miss. We’re very excited to welcome GK Barry as our newest Teenage Cancer Trust ambassador and we can’t wait to see her headlining the Saturday night gigs.”

Jamie Johnson, head of music and entertainment at Teenage Cancer Trust:

“I see firsthand the incredible impact the music and entertainment industry can make when it rallies behind a cause. The Royal Albert Hall shows are a cornerstone of our charity’s work, and their success is only possible thanks to the unwavering support of artists, managers, agents, promoters, crew, and our generous audiences.

To date, these concerts have raised millions to funding specialist care and transform the experience of cancer for young people at a critical time in their lives. But the need has never been greater. The support of the music and entertainment industry remains vital to ensuring we can continue this life-changing work.

This year we are delighted to welcome GK Barry as a Teenage Cancer Trust ambassador and to see her headlining the Saturday night slot at the gigs this year.

GK Barry understands the highs and lows of what it’s like to be a young person today, and how difficult that can sometimes be even without the additional challenge of cancer to deal with.

We’ve never had anyone like GK Barry performing at the gigs before. Content creators play a huge part in today’s entertainment world and we hope that by embracing this new genre, we can reach another new type of audience, which will help us to raise even more funds and awareness of cancer in young people.”
