The gig celebrates the official handing over of Olympics duty from Beijing to London and the concert co-incides with Beijing's closing ceremony on August 24th.

Among the names confirmed are Scouting For Girls, James Morrison and McFly.

The strictly-pop event will also see the Olympic flag being handed over to London Mayor Boris Johnson.
