Stars and new talent got together in Liverpool to help lead the fight against teenage cancer.
Homegrown talent, including The Zutons’ saxophonist Abi Harding and singer Candi Payne, joined T4 presenter Miquita Oliver at the summer bandstand Topshop Picnic event, at the Isla Gladstone Conservatory, Anfield, on Saturday.
The Liverpool musicians DJ’d in front of a crowd of hundreds while up-and-coming acts took to the music stage.
Welsh indie popsters Los Campesinos!, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Blue Roses, Summer Camp, and pop rockers I Blame Coco also played.
Coco Sumner, of I Blame Coco, is the daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler.
The summer bandstand picnic is a charity event taking place in green spaces across t
he country from London to Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool.
Organised by Topshop and the Teenage Cancer Trust, the gigs are designed to highlight the damage done to our skin when we’re young.
Around 80% of exposure happens before the age of 21, which can lead to skin cancer later in life. Skin cancer rates in teens have doubled in the last 20 years, and it is now the second most common form of the disease in those aged 15 to 34.
