Queen's Diamond Jubilee: British pop stars to perform at special concert The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the Royal Family including the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry are set to join about 10,000 fans for the concert. A national ballot will now take place for those wishing to attend the free concert on Monday June 4, which will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC One HD, BBC Radio 2 in Britain and simulcast throughout the world. Those chosen will be invited to attend a "Jubilee Picnic" in the Buckingham Palace Garden afterwards. Will you be entering the ballot for ticket's to the Jubilee concert? While most "Diamond Ticket" invitations will be allocated randomly, a "significant" number of people from a selection of nominated charities will also receive tickets. The concert stage has been designed by Mark Fisher, the international architect and officials said it "will make full use of the historic backdrop with spectacular lighting and projections." An artist's impression of the Diamond Jubilee Concert on the Queen Victoria Monument outside Buckingham Palace (PA) Securing McCartney for the event's bill was seen as a major coup for singer Gary Barlow who is helping organise the event. "The Diamond Jubilee concert will celebrate the 60 years of the Queen's reign with an amazing line-up of world class artists coming together to play at one of the biggest and most exciting live music shows in recent years," the Take That star said. With Buckingham Palace as a backdrop, it's going to be a fantastic event which transcends multiple decades of music. It'll be a great, unique, experience for the thousands attending, watching on TV and listening on Radio. I can't wait. Barlow said the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry had both requested artists to perform although he declined to say if he or Take That would play on the night. He said almost two-thirds of the acts had been confirmed and he hoped to go beyond Commonwealth artists and have American stars taking part. The musician said he wanted other forms of entertainment such as ballet or performances from the West End to be represented and highlighted how classical acts had already been booked - English tenor Alfie Boe and virtuoso Chinese pianist Lang Lang. He said those already signed up were excited at the prospect of playing. "I've found everyone I've talked to, people are really looking forward to this event," he said. With the (royal) wedding, it certainly made me feel great - we are hoping this concert and occasion does the same thing. In a statement issued by Buckingham Palace, Danny Cohen, the Controller BBC One, said: "BBC One is honoured to be the broadcast host of this magnificent concert to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. This will be a musical event like no other, with Britain's greatest musical stars performing to celebrate this great occasion. Officials said the national ballot would not allocate tickets "on a first-come first-served basis, so there is as much chance of being selected.
