The British pop group Take That, singers Bryn Terfel and Freya Ridings and composer Alexis Ffrench will also take the stage on the grounds of Windsor Castle on May 7.
The BBC, which will produce and broadcast the concert, also said opera stars Andrea Bocelli and Bryn Terfel will perform a duet together, and that classical-soul composer Alexis Ffrench will also appear at the coronation celebration.
They are expected to perform in front of the newly-crowned King, the Queen Consort and an audience of around 20,000 people as the concert is also heard or seen on the BBC’s radio and TV platforms and elsewhere internationally. Additional talent for the star-studded concert will be announced in the coming weeks, with speculation over which music stars will perform having dominated tabloid papers in the U.K. for weeks.
The official coronation of King Charles III, following a period of mourning for his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, will take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London.
