Royal Albert Hall

Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual concerts have become one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the British music calendar

Now into their tenth year, the concerts were the brainchild of Teenage Cancer Trust Patron and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey CBE. Each year, the shows have featured some of the world's biggest bands and artists.

Global investment bank Nomura have signed up to be the lead sponsor for the shows in 2010. This is the first time Teenage Cancer Trust has secured such significant support for the shows and we are delighted to have Nomura on board for our 10th anniversary year.

Raising funds

Each show helps raise money so that Teenage Cancer Trust can provide the best possible care and professional support for young people with cancer.

The aim of the shows is to raise funds for desperately needed specialist teenage cancer facilities. Teenage Cancer Trust units, which are all built in NHS hospitals, combine an expert team and the best possible therapy with the best possible environment for teenagers and young adults. And by focusing on quality of life, they can change a teenager’s outlook and give them a better chance of survival.
