The current line-ups (with extra guests still to be announced) is:

Teenage Cancer Trust was set up to specifically focus on the particular needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer, leukaemia, Hodgkin’s and related diseases. The Trust builds special units, developed and decorated to cater for teenage needs – usually, teenagers with cancer are either placed in a paediatric ward with smaller children or in adult wards with elderly patients.

Previous Teenage Cancer Trust shows have featured performances from Oasis, The Who, Paul Weller, Coldplay, Bryan Adams, Ash and Doves.

Frank, Kaisers, Coxon and Keane line up for Albert Hall Cancer Trust gigs

btw, it's www.seetickets.com

"UB40 and Guests including Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey" - Don't think I'll be going to that one!

"5th - Franz Ferdinand, Graham Coxon and Kaiser Chiefs" - that sounds good though.

Nothing to do with them being old... Anything with clappers in it must be bollocks. UB40 -ha! I thought they were called the Dead 60s now?

Re: Franz, Kaisers, Coxon and Keane line up for Al

he's a big boring racist who's forced to cover another artists entire catalogue because the last few albums he released were shockingly bad shite.

(i'm half serious about the first bit, deadly serious about the second)

"whats wrong with clapton then "

Well, he's a middle of the road, blues wannabe (who would want to be that?) who spent his whole career ripping of Robert Johnson, and then just does a cover album of him to get a bit more cash in his pocket.

He might be a good guitar player, but he can't write a song to save his life.

Drab drab drab...

blues wannabe? he's one of the greatest blues guitarists ever? and was one of the original exponents of british blues with john mayalls bluesbreakers? how can he be a wannabe?

have you listened to UB40's first album "signing off"? pure class. absolute bollocks now, admittedly, but they used to be brilliant.

who cares if clapton covers robert johnsons entire back catalogue, he made a pretty good fist of paying homage to an absolute legend. reptile was shite, but pilgrim was pretty good.
