Jamie Johnson, Head of Music & Entertainment at Teenage Cancer Trust, says:

We are also deeply honoured that Robert Smith, one of the most influential artists of our time, has agreed to curate the Teenage Cancer Trust's 2026 concerts at the Royal Albert Hall.

Robert has been a dedicated supporter of Teenage Cancer Trust for many years, and his involvement will bring extraordinary performances to this iconic week while helping us raise essential funds. These funds ensure we can continue to provide vital specialist services for young people facing cancer within the NHS.

You only get one chance at being young, and cancer threatens to turn lives upside down. Without the right support, the impact can be devastating. We cannot thank Robert enough for helping us make sure that no young person faces cancer alone.

For his part, Robert Smith says: "Teenage Cancer Trust does the most fantastic work, and it is a great honour – and a real thrill – to be asked to curate the 2026 shows at the Royal Albert Hall. I can promise it will be a very memorable week!"

Do you think they will also play there ??

[Ulrich]

Maybe The Cure will play too?
My bets are on Mogwai as one of the bands... (hopefully Slowdive too).

Robert curated Meltdown and the band played there, so I am looking forward them playing RAH again. Slowdive, Cranes, 65DOS there would be great. I am sure he will include TTS too.

[Ulrich]

Yeah, let's get our hopes high, surely some ex-members will be guests, like it was expected in 2018 (only it didn't happen)!

Then nowadays you must be lucky to get tickets for the RAH...but it would be a dream
