The Invest In Futures is the main fundraiser for the Princes's Trust and aims to generate vital monies to go towards getting thousands of young people into jobs, education or training.
Previous years have seen celebrity performers such as Bryan Adams and Gary Barlow take to the stage during the evening, with celebrity compères such as Stephen Fry and Sir Ben Kingsley.
Last year's event marked the start of The Prince’s Trusts 40th anniversary year and raised £2.1 million in just one evening.

The programme was launched in 2005 by Michael Marks CBE and has raised more than £16m for The Prince's Trust.
Prince Charles began The Princes Trust in 1976 and he has said: 'You can see how it is possible to turn young people’s lives around and give them self-confidence, self-worth and self-esteem.'
The Prince’s Trust has funded well over an estimated 500,000 projects and programmes involving young people in the past 40 years.
