Running from March 18 to April 9, the exhibition coincides with the charity’s annual series of live shows at the renowned London venue. The collection will showcase 21 limited-edition silk screen prints, with proceeds going to support Teenage Cancer Trust’s initiatives for young people facing cancer.
Notable musicians featured in the exhibition include The Cure, Fontaines D.C., The 1975, Yungblud, Wolf Alice, Bring Me The Horizon, Geese, Wunderhorse, Nia Archives, Loyle Carner, and the Sex Pistols. A full list of participating acts is available on the Teenage Cancer Trust website.
Photographers featured in the series include Andy Ford, Charlie Barclay Harris, Yungblud collaborator Tom Pallant, Jordan Curtis Hughes, Tanya Hanley, and Andrew Whitton. The images are produced using a silk screen process by White Duck Editions, which enhances depth and tone in black-and-white photography.
Selected pieces will capture memorable moments, including Frank Carter crowd-surfing during a performance with the Sex Pistols and intimate scenes from The 1975 and Fontaines D.C.’s performances in London last summer. Additionally, a candid photograph of Teenage Cancer Trust founders Adrian Whiteson OBE and Myrna Whiteson MBE will be on display.
Reflecting on his contribution, Carter remarked, “The picture was taken in the legendary Royal Albert Hall. I honestly never thought I would have a chance to play such an iconic venue and to play there with the Sex Pistols was a dream come true. Seeing a mosh pit inside such a prestigious venue felt like the definition of Good Punk Energy.”
He added, “There is so much misery and suffering in the modern world, people want a chance to escape. When the crowd comes with the same energy as the band on stage and everyone moves as one… that’s where the best energy is born, and it moves everyone present. It’s a gift to be part of that and is the reason why we do what we do.”
Micky England, head of music merchandise and e-commerce for Teenage Cancer Trust, emphasized the project’s mission to capture the emotional experience of live music. “Good energy is that feeling when a gig locks in and the crowd becomes part of the show. Each image has been captured by incredible photographers who really understand live music and reinterpreted by experts at White Duck Editions into beautiful silk screen prints.”
He continued, “These are shots you want on your wall to remember how it felt to be right there in it, and they are hand signed by your favourite artists. Every sale helps fund vital support for young people with cancer across the U.K.”
The 2026 Teenage Cancer Trust concert series at Royal Albert Hall is scheduled for March 23 to 29. This year’s lineup features Elbow, Mogwai, Manic Street Preachers, My Bloody Valentine, Garbage, and Wolf Alice.
The concert series has been curated by Robert Smith of The Cure, who is serving as this year’s guest curator. Further ticketing information is available on the Royal Albert Hall’s official website.
