| Performance Notes | The Vaccines will make their Royal Albert Hall debut, headlining this Teenage Cancer Trust show. Joining The Vaccines as their very special guests will be indie heroes Everything Everything.
Placed third in the BBC Sound of 2011, The Vaccines have recently released their third album English Graffiti. This hugely successful record has received critical and popular acclaim, and produced singles including Handsome and Dream Lover.
In its 16th incredible year of world-class music and comedy to help young people with cancer, Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall will run from 19 to 24 April 2016.
For every young person with cancer Teenage Cancer Trust supports, there is another the charity cannot currently reach. This must change. Teenage Cancer Trust needs to raise at least £80 million in the next five years to help every young person with cancer in the UK have access to the specialist care they provide. Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall will continue to play a pivotal role in achieving this ambitious goal.
In 16 years, over 200 artists will have performed at the Hall for the charity, with nearly 500,000 fans in attendance including over 2,000 young people with cancer, raising over £22 million in that time.
Rock and Roll Box Package tickets were available for £1,000 (Second Tier), £2,000 (Loggia) and £3,000 (Grand Tier). Private box hire also included a dedicated box waiter, beverages, pre-show and interval catering and a donation to TCT.
Luxury VIP Box Experience tickets were available for £1,200 (Second Tier), £2,400 (Loggia) and £3,600 (Grand Tier). Private box hire also included a dedicated box waiter, champagne on arrival, beverages, pre-show and interval catering and a donation to TCT.
Guests in the audience included Foxes (singer-songwriter).
Debut Royal Albert Hall performances by all artists.
"With their Levi jeans, glitter balls, and songs many will declare to be the soundtrack of their adolescence, the night felt special. From the impressive light show which accompanied opening number 'Handsome'. from 2015's English Graffiti, all the way to the huge hit 'Norgaard', from debut album What Did You Expect from The Vaccines? which close the show, the performance felt personal, meaningful, and most importantly, happy.
Perhaps the Albert Hall and The Vaccines were always meant to be; something steeped in tradition colliding with something proud to be a bit rough around the edges. Regardless, the charm of The Vaccines will earn them a place in many hearts, which is no more than they deserve."
