| Performance Notes | 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.
Fans camped outside the venue from the night before. At midday before the concert Bring Me The Horizon's lead singer, Oliver Sykes helped deliver free pizza to their fans waiting outside.
This was the first time that Bring Me the Horizon had played with a live orchestra and the event was filmed for a DVD to be released later in 2016.
Debut Royal Albert Hall performance of Bring Me The Horizon.
"The Albert Hall might have hosted a mosh pit in the past, but its unlikely that the venue had witnessed a wall of death - two groups of fans slamming in to each other - before last Friday night. A concert for the TCT by the Sheffield hard rockerswas never likely to be a sedate affair, but the addition of a 60-piece orchestra and a 15-strong choir suggested that the band might soften their sound to suit their surroundings. Fortunately they had the opposite intention.
Originally a deathcore outfit this show marked 12 years and a week since they played their first gig, the singer Oli Sykes informed the crowd. On paper its screaming rock songs strewn with swear words and awash with teenage angst seemed a mismatch with a symphony orchestra. In practice, the pairing was dramatic, dynamic and thunderously loud.
Crucially, every song had been rearranged for the occasion by the keyboard player Jordan Fish, giving the choir space to soar and the orchestra the ability to either vigorously bolster the volume or add new elements, among them Mariachi trumpets on 'It Never End's and Arabic-style strings on a blistering 'Antivist', throughout which the floor shook as the crowd bounced, middle fingers aloft, as instructed. 'Shadow Moses' was a punk-meets-Palestrina highlight in which even some of the chanting choir joined in the mass head banging.
Bare-chested blokes were on their mates shoulders during 'Drown', for which the shaggy-haired, heavily-tattooed Sykes left the singing to the choir and the crowd and took to conducting both, before falling on his knees. He led a chant of f*** cancer before a saxophone-accompanied encore of 'Oh No', never performed live before, which the fans refused to stop singing even when this magnificent show was over."
