The event has been organised by Princes William and Harry to celebrate the life of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

Supertramp are said to have been a favourite of the late princess.

Their 1979 album Breakfast In America was in her record collection and was one of the items butler Paul Burrell was accused, and later cleared, of stealing five years ago.

The acts will join a line-up of stars which includes Sir Elton John, Joss Stone, Lily Allen, Kanye West, Duran Duran, Status Quo and Take That.

There will also be a performance by the English National Ballet and an Andrew Lloyd Webber medley.

The concert marks what would have been Diana's 46th birthday.

William and Harry have described it as "the best birthday present she ever had".

The princes will appear on stage at some point during the five-hour event.

A memorial service to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana's death will be held on August 31 at the Guards' Chapel in London.
