- Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson has been appointed as the curator for the Teenage Cancer Trust's annual series of fundraising concerts for 2027, describing it as an "immense privilege" to support young people with cancer.
- Manson will curate the week-long series, scheduled to take place from March 15 to 21 next year, with her chosen line-up of artists still awaiting announcement.
- She is the second guest curator, following Robert Smith of The Cure, who helmed the successful 2026 run, and Sir Roger Daltrey, who initiated the prestigious event in 2000 and curated it until 2025.
- The annual concerts have collectively generated over £36 million for the charity since their inception, with this year's event alone successfully raising £1.4 million.
- Manson expressed her commitment to raising funds and awareness for "all-too-often-forgotten teenagers" in the UK living with cancer, aiming to curate a "fine week of entertainment" at the Royal Albert Hall.
