Tickets to British Summer Time festival are being sold at a pay-what-you-want rate charity donation - giving you the chance to see Blur, The Strokes, Taylor Swift, The Who and more. 

Potential festival-goers can choose a charity, decide how much they want to pay and donate via JustGiving for the opportunity to see the acts across the 18-28 June.

The charities are all involved with fighting cancer in the UK, with charities such as Breast Cancer Now, Prostate Cancer UK, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and the Teenage Cancer Trust available to choose from. 

The headliners include The Strokes on 18 June, Blur on 20 June, Kylie on 21 June, The Who on the 26 June, Taylor Swift on the 27 June and the Union J-led Family Event on the 28th June. They are joined by a host of other acts across the dates, like Metronomy, Beck, The Horrors, Vance Joy, Rae Morris, Gaz Coombes, Kasier Chiefs, Paul Weller, Johnny Marr, Temples and Gengahr. 

Jim King, senior vice president of live events at AEG Live, who has coordinated the event, has said of the generous gesture: “We felt it appropriate that for 2015 that we support the work that these cancer charities continue to do to beat a disease that affects many close to us. It is also particularly rewarding for us to be able to do this whilst celebrating Sunday June 21st’ headliner Kylie – who celebrates another year cancer free, having been diagnosed 10 years ago."
