Today Madness have announced that Paul Weller & Band will join as guests at Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 24th March for very special acoustic performance.
Paul Weller remains a true British icon, with a career in music spanning six decades. Weller has released an extensive back catalogue of top 40 albums across The Jam, The Style Council and his solo releases, including seven number ones. Paul Weller joins Madness following the release of his 16th Studio album chart topping “FAT POP (Volume 1)” last year and the magnificent, “LP ON SUNSET” in 2020.
Madness famously emerged from the backstreets of Camden Town in the late 1970s, part of the original two-tone movement, who went on to become national treasures. Famed for their huge chart hits (including classic songs Our House, One Step Beyond and Baggy Trousers), unique style and sense of humour, they stand as unique amongst much-loved British pop bands.
The evergreen Nutty Boys got back on the road at the end of last year for their first tour after 18 months in lockdown and Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall will be a treat for fans before a summer 2022 return.
The iconic concert series has featured the greatest music and comedy for two decades, raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust and driven by Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron and The Who icon, Roger Daltrey. But in 2020, just as the concerts were about to celebrate 20 years of legendary moments, COVID-19 shut them down, with lockdown starting on the day of the first scheduled show. 2021 went the same way, so it is a more than welcome return for this vital charity event, which will run from March 21-27th.
This year will feature Don Broco on Monday 21st March, followed by An Evening of Comedy hosted by Joel Dommett with special guests Tom Allen, Rob Beckett, Rosie Jones, Romesh Ranganathan, Suzi Ruffell and Seann Walsh on Tuesday March 22nd.
Irrepressible star YUNGBLUD performs on Wednesday 23rd March, legends Madness on Thursday 24th March, then the return of The Who, playing a very special acoustic show on Friday March 25th. The iconic Liam Gallagher will play Saturday 26th March, with global superstar Ed Sheeran on Sunday 27th March to round off an incredible week.

About Teenage Cancer Trust at The Royal Albert Hall
2020 would have marked the 20th year of Teenage Cancer Trust’s phenomenally successful series of music and comedy events at The Royal Albert Hall, which were started by Roger Daltrey CBE. The gigs were to also help celebrate the 30th anniversary of Teenage Cancer Trust.
Some of the biggest names in entertainment have now raised more than £30 million for Teenage Cancer Trust’s specialist nurses, hospital wards and support teams that help young people through the toughest times of their lives.
Over the past 20 years, audiences at Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual gigs have witnessed some extraordinary, once in a lifetime shows, from Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn performing together for the first time ever in 2013, Sir Paul McCartney in 2012, plus the likes of Oasis, Muse, Ed Sheeran, Florence + The Machine and many more.
There have been many legendary moments. Sir Paul McCartney was joined on stage in 2012 for the Beatles’ ‘Get Back’ by Roger Daltrey, Ronnie Wood and Paul Weller – marking a Beatle, Rolling Stone and The Who joining forces.
Muse played in 2008, their only show in the UK that year apart from two sold out Wembley Stadiums. They called it, “one of the best gigs of our lives.” The Cure played a three-hour set on two consecutive nights in 2014, bringing the house down with 45 songs.
