Ricky Gervais is to front a cancer benefit concert next month.
The Office star will head a comedy night during a week of shows at the Royal Albert Hall. Other acts to appear include The Cure, Bloc Party and Razorlight.
The Who singer Roger Daltrey said: "There is no doubt in my mind that these shows really are making a difference to the lives of thousands of teenagers with cancer. From its inception, the event has always been supported by top artists at the cutting edge of music and comedy."
The concerts have been held for six years to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity. Tickets go on sale today.
