Noel Gallagher Rocking For Cancer















Noel Gallagher has announced his only two gigs of 2010 - as part of this year's incredible Teenage Cancer Trust charity concerts.

The annual music and comedy shows at London's Royal Albert Hall are celebrating their tenth birthday and Depeche Mode kick off with a show on February 17.

Then comes the main series of gigs, over nine nights from March 22, and ex-Oasis star Noel joins a music line-up any festival would kill for.

Arctic Monkeys, The Specials, The Who, Them Crooked Vultures, Suede and JLS will all take the stage.

Teenage Cancer Trust patron, former The Who frontman Roger Daltrey, said: "It's a blinder. I'm over the moon. It will be Noel's only gigs this year, so those nights will be special."

Some might sniff at JLS but Roger isn't a man to mess with and has been after a big pop act for years.

He said: "Kids have to start somewhere and JLS are for young people. Music snobs might turn their noses up but there's no place for them in the business."

Well said, Rog. The Teenage Cancer Trust is close to my heart, too, and the gigs have been a highlight of working on Bizarre.

Noel, who also played the trust's event in 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007, said: "Ten years ago I got a call from Roger asking me to join him for the first ever concert for the charity.

Since then I've been honoured to support this amazing charity. I've had some of the best nights I've ever had on a UK stage."

The full line-up is: Depeche Mode, Feb 17; Them Crooked Vultures, March 22; Jimmy Carr, Noel Fielding and Rod Gilbert, March 23; Suede, March 24; Noel Gallagher, March 25 & 26; Arctic Monkeys, March 27; JLS, March 28; The Specials, March 29; The Who, March 30.
