Tom Grennan is the latest headliner to be announced for Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall.

Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall will bring in some huge names across the week, including returning indie favourites Doves, who will play their first show since 2010.

Other nights will see Rudimental, Take That, Giggs, The Script, and the Levellers perform at the iconic London venue.

Expanding on his invitation to join the lineup, Grennan explains, “It’s a real honour for me to play a show on behalf of Teenager Cancer Trust and raise money and awareness for so many courageous young people! To tread the boards of the Royal Albert Hall will be a life ambition ticked off for me, and to do it for Teenage Cancer Trust make it that extra special - thank you to Roger Daltrey and the team for giving me this opportunity."

Grennan released his debut record Lighting Matches earlier this year. He also received the Guinness World Record for playing the most gigs in 12 hours.

On next year's fundraising shows, Roger Daltrey (CBE) explains, “Many people will not be aware that Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity that receives no government funding and is dependent on raising money from the public to provide vital wards and nursing care which are a lifeline for young people with cancer. I’m incredibly grateful to all of the artists who’ve given up time in their busy schedules to help young people with cancer get the specialist care they deserve. Looking back, we’ve had so many unforgettable moments at the shows over the years and these moments are amplified by the wonderful young people with cancer I have met. I’m consistently overwhelmed by their positivity in the face of a lifechanging circumstance. They are the reason we strive to make these shows the very best we can and this year will be no different."

Tom Grennan will play London's Royal Albert Hall on 27 March 2019. Tickets are on sale now. Revisit our Talk The Line podcast with Tom Grennan.
