Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Take That will star in an eclectic line-up for a concert to mark the coronation of King Charles next month, which organizers herald as an opportunity to celebrate a new chapter in Britain's history. In fact, the formal coronation ceremony for Charles, who became King upon the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth in September, will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6.

The following day, the spotlight will turn to Windsor Castle, west London, where 20,000 members of the public and special guests will attend the concert, which will also be broadcast on television and radio. In fact, american music star Richie stated, "Sharing the stage with the other artists at the Coronation Concert is a once-in-a-lifetime event and will be an honor and a celebration." The line-up also includes opera star Andrea Bocelli, singer-songwriter Freya Ridings, Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel and classical soul composer Alexis Ffrench.

The British Broadcasting Corporation were responsible for announcing the list of artists that we will see at the coronation, which will produce and broadcast the show. In addition, "The Coronation Choir", a group created from community choirs and amateur singers from across Britain, will perform alongside "The Virtual Choir", made up of singers from across the Commonwealth. In addition, according to the BBC, the centerpiece of the concert will be the illumination of iconic UK landmarks using projections, lasers, drones and illuminations.

"The concert will feature a broad mix of music, from pop to classical, along with dance and spoken word performances that will reflect the arts and culture from across the UK and the Commonwealth," the British broadcaster explained.
