To celebrate 10 years of music and comedy at the Royal Albert Hall, Teenage Cancer Trust is auctioning exclusive signed merchandise from legendary artists.

The star studded line up includes The Who, Noel Gallagher, Depeche Mode, Suede, JLS, Arctic Monkeys, The Specials, Them Crooked Vultures, Jimmy Carr, Noel Fielding and more. In addition to the show merchandise, a one-off signed Marshall Amp by Muse is also up for grabs. Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual concerts have become one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the British music calendar. Now into their tenth year, the concerts were the brainchild of Teenage Cancer Trust Patron and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey CBE. Each year, the shows have featured some of the world’s biggest bands and artists. Teenage Cancer Trust believes that teenagers should not have to stop being teenagers, just because they have cancer. The charity funds and develops specialist teenage cancer units within NHS hospitals which enable young people to be treated together, by an expert team, in the best possible environment. Teenage Cancer Trust focuses on quality of life and aims to improve the chances of survival for young people with cancer. Since its inception in 1990, the charity has opened a total of 15 units and plans to build enough so that, by 2012, every single teenager in the UK can have access to the support they provide.  To find out more or to make you bid visit www.teenagecancertrust.org

Some things about Coachella are obvious.

Some things about Coachella are obvious.

Some things about Coachella are obvious. The headliners deliver, and this year they’re particularly pro: rap’s Warren Buffett, Jay-Z, and stadium rock saviors Muse, pictured, plus the multimedia blitz of Gorillaz. The bill’s middle is packed with great stuff that you will miss because you’re standing in line to recycle your water bottles. One night, you will happen upon a mostly empty tent and from it will pour music that changes your life. As for specifics, here are all on this year’s thick lineup that I wouldn’t miss.
