Emeli Sande, Rizzle Kicks and Labrinth are among the stars who will perform at a concert in memory of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, 20 years after he was stabbed to death.
The event - to be staged at London's O2 Arena - will raise funds for a trust set up in his name to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Plan B, Jamie Cullum, Jessie J, Tinie Tempah and Ed Sheeran are also among the stars taking part in the show on September 29 designed to champion young people.
Stephen's mother, Doreen Lawrence, who founded the trust, said: "We work every day to empower youth and we're so proud that the music industry is joining us in reaching out to change the lives of young people.
"I want young people to feel inspired, be confident and have hope in their own future.
Stephen Lawrence died after being attacked by racist thugs "There have been a further 106 racist murders since Stephen was killed 20 years ago and there are still too many young people who do not have a sense of hope."
Her son was 18 when he was stabbed in a racist attack in Eltham, southeast London, in April 1993.
Two men - Gary Dobson and David Norris - were found guilty of the murder last year and the police investigation still remains "live".
The Metropolitan Police were criticised for their handling of the initial investigation and, as a result, the force was judged to be institutionally racist in a subsequent public inquiry.
The show, Unity: A Concert For Stephen Lawrence, has been backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
Artists also include Rudimental and Soul II Soul.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday at www.aeglive.co.uk.
