February 7, 2011
Beady Eye, Biffy Clyro, Tinie Tempah To Play Teenage Cancer Trust GigsBeady Eye and Biffy Clyro are among the acts set to play this year's Teenage Cancer Trust gigs in London.

The event, now in its 11th year, takes place at the Royal Albert Hall from March 21-27.

Other acts on the bill include Squeeze, Roger Daltrey of The Who, Editors and Tinie Tempah. John Bishop and Kevin Bridges will also take part in the comedy evening.

Daltrey, a longstanding Teenage Cancer Trust patron, said: "These gigs have raised nearly £10 million in 10 years and they make a real difference to the lives of thousands of young people with cancer.

“We’ve had both legends and rising stars play for Teenage Cancer Trust over the years and 2011 is no different. I’m truly grateful to everyone for their support.”
