Paolo Nutini, The Cure and Suede have also confirmed that they will perform at the series of events, which takes place in London’s Royal Albert Hall between the 24th and 30th March this year.

Since the charity was launched in the year 2000, it has raised over £17 million pounds to help young people with cancer. The Who’s Roger Daltrey, who is a patron of the charity and curates the annual event, said: “The money raised is invaluable in helping young people with cancer, and in return for the public’s hard earned cash we put on some very special shows [and]over the years we’ve had so many memorable moments.”

24th March – Ed Sheeran
25th March – Comedy Evening hosted by Jason Manford
27th March – One Republic
29th March – The Cure
