As reported by 6 Music News (here), Muse have revealed that the band will be playing London's Royal Albert Hall for one of The Teenage Cancer Trust's annual charity events in April.
The show appears to be one of only two UK gigs for Muse in 2008, following their Wembley Stadium shows last June. Singer Matt Bellamy said to Radio 6, "We've been having a break for the last few months, and I think this year is gonna be very relaxed. We're going to do a couple of gigs here and there, but we're not gonna tour."
Bellamy added, "But we are doing a couple of one-offs. For example, we're doing the Albert Hall Teenage Cancer Trust show in April, then we'll do the V Festival and a couple of other sort of 'holiday gigs'."
"We're gonna do Dubai. We actually wanted to go there anyway but we might as well do a gig there to pay for the trip and it's the same with South America. We might go down for a sort of 'half-holiday' and do a couple of gigs because we have never been there before."
The Teenage Cancer Trust concerts were set up eight years ago by The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey, to raise money for young adults with cancer, leukaemia, Hodgkin's and related diseases.
Oasis, Paul Weller, Coldplay, Ash, Doves, Eric Clapton, and Keane, have all previously played the concerts.
The full details of the 2008 Teenage Cancer Trust Charity shows will be fully announced on Thursday 21st February.
