| Performance Notes | Simply Red make their triumphant return to the Royal Albert Hall as part of this years Teenage Cancer Trust season.
2016 sees Simply Red celebrate over 30 years at the top. Theyve sold over 60 million albums worldwide, had 30 top 40 UK hits, and have performed to over ten million people. Frontman Mick Hucknall will be bringing the band to the Hall during a break in a world tour promoting their eleventh studio album, Big Love.
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.
