Edinburgh's Cabaret Voltaire is set to host a fundraising night in aid of the city's leading breast cancer institute on Thursday, Nov 23. Tickets are £5 (£3 conc).

After the highly successful Madonna vs. Kylie fundraising night in aid of the Breast Cancer Institute in January, the event has returned, with pop royalty the ongoing theme. The 'Cab' will witness a four-way rumble of music's dysfunctional royal family. Kylie will renew her grudge match with Madge, while the people's favourite Michael Jackson will clash with the titan that is Prince. The soundtrack will sample these big hitters, as well as a few other surprises along the way.

Royal Command Performances will be issued by DJs Kaupuss and Jon Pleased in the Main Room, while Room Two will see the Calverto host one of his legendary karaoke sessions. There will be appearances from the big four at some point in the night as well, and guests will also be treated to a DJ set from Miss Christina, while the event will be hosted by Harry Ainsworth of 'Snatch' fame. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed guest, making this one night definitely not to be missed.
