The King’s Coronation Concert is coming up in a few weeks and we finally know who’ll perform at the royal ceremony. The list of performers has been unveiled and it includes the likes of Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Take That.
Despite not being British performers, both Richie and Perry go a long way back with King Charles. Richie serves as the first chairman of the Global Ambassador Group for The Prince’s Trust since 2019, while Perry was appointed as the ambassador of his charity The British Asian Trust.
British pop group Take That will also grace the stage, with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen confirming their performance without Robbie Williams.
“This will be our first live show since the Odyssey Tour, four years ago in 2019, and what a stage to come back on! A huge live band and orchestra, a choir, military drummers, the backdrop of Windsor Castle and the celebration of a new King. We can’t wait,” said Take That in a statement.
The list of performers also includes Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, the English singer multi-instrumentalist Freya Ridings, and classical-soul composer-producer Alexis Ffrench. They’ll all perform at King Charles III’s coronation concert on May 7.
