Paul McCartney will headline the second night of the 2012 Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concerts, which will take place from March 28 through April 3 at London's Royal Albert Hall. To kick off this year's edition of the annual fundraising series, The Who 's Roger Daltrey will perform on a bill that also will feature former Jam frontman Paul Weller and Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones .
The concerts raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, a UK charity that helps support medical facilities and programs for young people suffering from cancer. McCartney is expected to perform selections from his new standards album, Kisses on the Bottom , at the March 29 gig.
Daltrey, a longtime Teenage Cancer Trust patron and one of the organizers of the events, said in a statement, "Every year my team and I work really hard to make these concerts…something special. This year is no exception and the lineup of artists donating their time and talent is incredible."
Tickets for the concerts go on sale on Friday.
