Lily Allen, Razorlight, the Sugababes and Shirley Bassey are among the artists playing at this year's Swarovski Fashion Rocks event.
The 18 October show, which often has as many A-listers in the audience as on stage, is back at the Royal Albert Hall after the last one was held in Monaco.
Musicians and international designers will share the limelight while actors Samuel L Jackson and Uma Thurman will host the event. Other confirmed acts include Alicia Keys, The Gossip, Iggy Pop, Timbaland, Joss Stone and Marc Almond.
Many of the stars will be performing in outfits made by the designers who include Stella McCartney, Armani, Chanel, Valentino, Gucci and Versace.
The party aims to raise more than £1 million for The Prince's Trust, which helps disadvantaged young people. It will be screened on Channel 4 and tickets are from £45.
