Versus Cancer

So, onto our Line Up campaign.  As you know, we’re all about people coming together to raise money and awareness.  If you’ve been to one of our concerts you’ll have seen the money can’t buy collaborations, and you’ll have felt the atmosphere.

This year, whether you’re at the concert or not, we wanted everyone to be a part of what we do, and be able to do their bit to make a difference.  So, we came up with the Line Up idea and badge.  You can buy a badge from various bars and shops around Manchester click here for a list of stockists - then all you need to do is come back to this site and register your name to be counted in the line up.  You’ll get your personal number to write on your badge, and we’ll keep you up to date on the concert, pick numbers at random to win heaps of Versus Cancer tickets and prizes, and let you know how your money is making a difference to cancer sufferers around the UK.

So far we’ve had loads of artists and people in the public eye who’ve supported us along the way sign up, for example Ian Brown, Mani, Danny McNamara, Sadie Frost, Tim Lovejoy and Badly Drawn Boy – keep checking the list to see who you’re next to.

We’ll be in touch soon to fill you in on all the concert preparations.  Make sure you wear your badge to show your support!

Welcome to our new site! It’s been a busy week at the Versus Cancer office, as today marks the launch of our next concert – our third at the MEN Arena - on 23 Feb 08, and also the launch of our ‘Line Up’ campaign.

After our last sell out concert at the MEN, we’re really looking forward to being back there again in Feb. The performances at the last concert, such as Noel’s acoustic set, and seeing Ian, Mani and Cressa together doing Resurrection for the finale, made the hairs on the back of our neck’s stand up – and we’re hoping to better it this time.

We’ll be announcing who’s playing over the coming weeks (just to keep you all in suspense!) so watch this space – or sign up and we’ll send you updates as and when artists are announced.
