The Who are set to perform a special acoustic set at the Royal Albert this month as part of the series of gigs being organised by the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend will play the legendary venue on April 13 alongside Joan Armatrading, David Gray, Newton Faulkner and Amy MacDonald.

Roger Daltrey, who is helping organise the gigs, said: “I was really thrilled when Pete called up and offered to do this. It’s a great way of closing another fantastic week of shows for Teenage Cancer Trust”.

Also playing shows will be Muse, The Futureheads, Madness, The Holloways, Paul Weller, Duffy, The Fratellis and The Raveonettes.
