The Cure’s Robert Smith will be bringing together everyone from my bloody valentine to Garbage, Manic Street Preachers and Wolf Alice for next year’s Teenage Cancer Trust concert series.
Robert Smith has shared his unsurprisingly impressive line-up for the 2026 Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall concert series.
The Cure legend will be bringing together some very special names to help raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust between March 23-29 next year. As well as a comedy night of Robert’s favourites, the event will feature special performances by the likes of my bloody valentine (supported by CHVRCHES), Manic Street Preachers, Elbow, Mogwai, Garbage (with a rare stripped-back set beforehand from special guests Placebo), Wolf Alice and more. Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 12 from 9am.
“Teenage Cancer Trust does absolutely amazing work, and l am very proud they asked me to be ‘Cureator’ of their March 2026 concerts at the RAH,” says Robert. “I wanted to make it a truly unforgettable, unmissable week – a run of shows to dream about – and I am so grateful to all the artists who accepted my invitation to perform. These will be very special events; every band, both headliners and special guests, and every comedian too, is either legendary or at the top of their game… indeed in most cases, they are both! It is going to be a fabulous seven nights, and I can hardly wait to experience it all. See you there!”
“When Robert Smith reached out to us about the possibility of performing for Teenage Cancer Trust we were all utterly thrilled as he is a highly revered figure in our world,” enthuses Garbage’s Shirley Manson. “We are honoured to serve at his behest and look forward to helping raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust, a cause very close to our own hearts. I hope our people will choose to come out in support. Should be a great night. In the Royal Albert Hall no less.”
