Bands line up to play Albert Hall for charity

The Cure, Goldfrapp, Bloc Party and Razorlight are among acts playing Albert Hall shows from 27 March to 1 April in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The Cure, Goldfrapp, Bloc Party and Razorlight are all to perform at this year's line up of Albert Hall gigs in aid of The Teenage Cancer Trust. Biffy Clyro, Mystery jets and comedian Ricky Gervais are also set to appear at the event, now in its sixth year and organised, of course, by Roger Daltrey and Harvey Goldsmith.

Daltrey says: "There is no doubt in my mind that these shows really are making a difference to the lives of thousands of teenagers with cancer. From its inception, the event has always been supported by top artists at the cutting edge of music and comedy. This year is no exception with a music line up including Goldfrapp, Bloc Party, Mystery Jets, Razorlight, a Tommy Vance Tribute with Judas Priest, The Scorpions and Ian Gillan, The Cure, Ricky Gervais and a comedy night with the best of British stand-up. I thank all the artists for their unconditional support and also all our friends in the media who have helped raise awareness of this important charity. They have and will continue to make a difference."

Tickets for this year's shows go on sale from 10am on today. Here's the line up:

27 Mar: Ricky Gervais

28 Mar: Goldfrapp

29 Mar: Bloc Party plus special guests Biffy Clyro and Mystery Jets
