After much speculation about who had been approached, organizers have announced that Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, British supergroup Take That, Andrea Bocelli, Sir Bryn Terfel, and Freya Ridings will all be performing at the concert.

Set to take place before an audience of 20,000 at Winsor Castle, the concert will be anchored in themes of love, respect, and optimism.
