Robert Smith of The Cure is confirmed to curate the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts in 2026.
This annual concert series will take place at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall and will soon feature a lineup of major artists from both music and comedy. Scheduled for March 24th to 30th, confirmed acts include The Who, The Corrs, James Arthur, a comedy night hosted by Micky Flanagan, and performances by Frank Carter alongside Paul Cook, Steve Jones, and Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols.
On March 29th, Erased Tapes will present a special evening, showcasing key artists from its label, including Penguin Cafe, Daniel Brandt, Douglas Dare, and Hatis Noit.
Looking forward, Robert Smith will oversee the concert series next year. A close friend of the charity, Smith is known for his exceptional curatorial talents, having previously directed Meltdown at the Southbank Centre.
Jamie Johnson, Head of Music & Entertainment at Teenage Cancer Trust, stated: “We are excited to have Erased Tapes in the Saturday slot at the Royal Albert Hall. Their distinct sound and creativity will create an unforgettable experience for music lovers.”
He added, “We are also incredibly honored that Robert Smith, one of the most significant artists of our generation, has agreed to curate the Teenage Cancer Trust’s 2026 concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. Robert has been a committed supporter of Teenage Cancer Trust for many years, and his involvement will provide extraordinary performances during this iconic week while helping us raise crucial funds. These funds are essential for maintaining vital specialized services for young people facing cancer within the NHS.”
“You only get one chance to be young, and cancer can drastically change lives. Without proper support, the consequences can be devastating. We are immensely grateful to Robert for ensuring that no young person faces cancer alone.”
In response, Robert Smith remarked: “Teenage Cancer Trust does incredible work, and it is both an honor and a thrill to be asked to curate the 2026 shows at the Royal Albert Hall. I promise it will be a truly unforgettable week!”
