IN celebration of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the palace have announced a concert.
While the line up is yet to be fully released we do have a taste of what is yet to come in the four-day bank holiday.
Who is performing at the Platinum Jubilee concert?
The concert at Buckingham Palace will be a mix of rock artists, pop singers, and a full live orchestra.
Over the next months it is expected more performers from across the arts, including theatre and film, will be announced as part of The Queen’s celebrations.
There will also be 3D-projections across the palace and an in-person audience which you can enter a ballot to win tickets for.
George Ezra
The 28-year-old singer is the first musician to be announced for the concert, releasing a statement sharing the good news.
He currently has chicken pox but the “Anyone For You” singer said is was “an incredible honour to be asked”.
The Hertfordshire born star won the Best British Male Solo Artist at the 2019 Brit awards and achieved a UK number one with his single “Shotgun”.
Roman Kemp
Making the announcement on The One Show, Roman Kemp, 29, said he would be involved in the celebrations.
The radio presenter has appeared on TV shows such as I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Celebrity Gogglebox.
He has had his own breakfast show with Capital FM since 2017 and regularly works with his dad, Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet fame.

The 37-year-old took over from Annie Mac on Radio 1’s Future Sounds show in 2021.
She has also presented the backstage at the BRIT Awards and appeared on the eighteenth season of Strictly Come Dancing.
When is the Platinum Jubilee concert?
The Platinum Jubilee will take place from Thursday June 2, 2022 across the whole weekend.
The usual May Bank Holiday will be moved to fit in with the festivities, rather than at the end of the month.
Celebrations will take place over the four days, including the Platinum Party concert.
This concert will be on Saturday, June 4, 2022 and you can enter a ballot for 5,000 free tickets.
