An all-star collection of rock and pop stars will take the stage at Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert.
Among the other stars slated to appear are: Sir David Attenborough, Emma Raducanu, David Beckham, Stephen Fry, Dame Julie Andrews, The Royal Ballet and Ellie Simmonds.
“Twenty years after playing The Queen’s glorious Golden Jubilee we’re very happy to be invited again,” the band Queen said in a statement. “Then there was a moment when I wondered … after Buckingham Palace roof where can you go? Well … you will see!!!” The Platinum Party stage design will feature three stages linked by walkways that will create a 360-degree experience in front of the Palace and the Queen Victoria Memorial. The stages will be linked by 70 columns representing the Queen’s reign.
“I have had the honour of meeting The Queen many times throughout my life, including when I was with my family, said Ross in a statement about her first UK live performance in 15 years. “Her Majesty has and continues to be such an incredible inspiration to so many across the world and I was absolutely delighted to receive an invitation to perform on such a momentous and historic occasion.
