On June 19th in the lush environs of Stanley Park, we’ll find a mix of white hot musicians and DJ’s playing live to raise money and awareness for Teenage Cancer Trust amongst the nation’s youth, all of whom have very generously donated their time for the shows. Musicians such as Welsh indie popsters Los Campesinos!, rapidly ascendant pop-rockers I Blame Coco, hotly tipped dream Summer Camp and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Blue Roses. Party vanguards Blonde Ambition, The Zuton saxophonist Abi Harding with Candie Payne and buzz band of the moment Egyptian Hip Hop will all be on DJ duty.
Other artists performing at the dates in London on the 12th , Bristol on the 19th and Birmingham on the 20th include electro trio of the moment Chew Lips, the swoon inducing Slow Club, indie darling Charlotte Hatherley and the gorgeously folky haze of Goldheart Assembly, along with the likes of Girlcore, Goldielocks, New Young Pony Club and Cocknbullkid among others numbering the DJ ranks.
The music, however, is only part of the equation, with the surrounding locale transformed into a classic, pincnic style playground, complete with Native Faces providing festival face decoration with Topshop Make Up, Sk8 House roller skate hire, and sports day games such as wang a welly, egg and spoon, and sack races with special prizes up for grabs. Attendees will pack up a picnic and bring along their Neon Rose picnic blanket that is available instore when you spend £60 or more. As well as this there will be the opportunity to chill out in the sun-shade area, complete with sun-cream samples. There will also be Vitamin Water and LOLA’s cupcakes on sale with all profits donated to the charity, as well as one-off Topshop/ Teenage Cancer Trust rain ponchos, which will be on sale with all the proceeds going back to the charity, all of which will combine to make these events completely unmissable in their own right.
Further to this, the Bandstand Picnic events will be branching out into selected stores from the 9th - 13th June and 16th – 20th June. London Oxford Circus, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Manchester Arndale and Glasgow will be playing host to live DJ sets, daily raffles, instore competitions as well as a limited edition giveaway of a specially designed picnic blanket.
Also supporting both the picnics and instore activity for Teenage Cancer Trust will be a bespoke collection produced exclusively for the charity, instore from 17th May. Pieces will include a kaftan, headband, summer bag and friendship bracelets all reflecting the summer trends with exclusive bright, fun prints, with a percentage of sales going to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Summer Camp:
“The Teenage Cancer Trust is a fantastic charity that works very hard to bring hope back to thousands of teenagers round the country, and we're thrilled to be able to support it this summer.”
Abi Harding & Candie Payne:
“We have both lost close people to us through cancer, as do millions of people around the world. So to us and many others it is a very important cause to support.”
Blonde Ambition:
"I firmly support the wonderful work of The Teenage Cancer Trust & it's a great honour to be playing at an event aimed in helping young people of today, for not many people actual realize that skin cancer is the second most common cancer found in 15-34 year olds...which is pretty scary. I'm looking forward to having safe fun in the sun!"
