Los Campesinos! and I Blame Coco to play Topshop Bandstand

This year, throughout the month of June, Topshop will be hosting Topshop Bandstand Picnics for Teenage Cancer Trust, a series of very special events around the UK, a string of gloriously unique outdoor picnic events in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust featuring the cream of the new musical crop performing in the loveliest green spaces in London, Bristol, Liverpool and Birmingham. Jameela Jamil shall be presenting the London and Bristol dates with Miquita Oliver hosting the Liverpool and Birmingham dates.

So, kicking off on June 12 in the lush environs of Regents 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 electro trio of the moment Chew Lips, Welsh indie popsters Los Campesinos!, hotly tipped dream Summer Camp, rapidly ascendant pop-rockers I Blame Coco, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Blue Roses, the swoon inducing Slow Club, and the gorgeously folky haze of Goldheart Assembly, along with the likes of Egyptian Hip Hop, Girlcore, Goldielocks, New Young Pony Club, Cocknbullkid and Blonde Ambition 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.
