Doves have announced their first gig in nine years.
The British band played their potential ‘last ever gig’ at the Warehouse Project back in 2010. Now, they have teased a comeback and have promised new material.
They have also announced that they will be playing their first gig in nine years for Teenage Cancer Trust. The event is curated by Roger Daltrey and takes places at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Doves will be performing alongside The Script, Take That, The Levellers and Rudimental.
“Many people will not be aware that Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity that receives no government funding and is dependent on raising money from the public to provide vital wards and nursing care which are a lifeline for young people with cancer,” Daltrey explained. “I’m incredibly grateful to all of the artists who’ve given up time in their busy schedules to help young people with cancer get the specialist care they deserve.
“Looking back, we’ve had so many unforgettable moments at the shows over the years and these moments are amplified by the wonderful young people with cancer I have met. I’m consistently overwhelmed by their positivity in the face of a life-changing circumstance. They are the reason we strive to make these shows the very best we can and this year will be no different.”
