Teenage Cancer Trust is bringing the spirit of the moshpit to the Royal Albert Hall with Good Energy, a new music photography exhibition set to highlight the shared community between artists and fans.
Running from March 18 through April 9 alongside the charity’s annual run of live shows at the iconic London venue, the collection will feature 21 limited-edition silk screen prints. Proceeds from both the exhibition and the concert series will go toward funding Teenage Cancer Trust’s ongoing work supporting young people living with cancer.
Among the musicians included are The Cure, Fontaines D.C., The 1975, Yungblud, Wolf Alice, Bring Me The Horizon, Geese, Wunderhorse, Nia Archives, Loyle Carner, and Sex Pistols and Frank Carter. The full list of acts can be found at the official 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. Each image is produced using a silk screen process developed by White Duck Editions, designed to separate tones within black-and-white photography and create added depth and texture.
Selected works include images of Frank Carter crowd-surfing during a performance with Sex Pistols, an intimate show from The 1975 and Fontaines D.C. performing their biggest headline slot to date at Finsbury Park, London, last summer. On display will also be a candid photograph of Teenage Cancer Trust founders Adrian Whiteson OBE and wife Myrna Whiteson MBE.
“The picture was taken in the legendary Royal Albert Hall,” Carter said of his featured image. “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 continued: “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, Teenage Cancer Trust’s head of music merchandise and e-commerce, said the project aims to preserve the emotional experience of live shows. “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 get live music and reinterpreted by experts White Duck Editions into beautiful silk screen prints.
“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 – 29. This year’s lineup includes Elbow, Mogwai, Manic Street Preachers, My Bloody Valentine, Garbage and Wolf Alice.
The shows have been brought together by Robert Smith of The Cure, who is serving as this year’s guest curator. Further ticketing information can be found here.
