Trooping the Colour was good fun, and the Red Arrows flypast was memorable, but the highlight of the Platinum Jubilee weekend has to be the concert.

Tonight, some of the biggest names in music will perform at Buckingham Palace to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s record-breaking 70-year reign.

The Platinum Party at the Palace’s star-studded line-up is fit for a queen.

So, who is set to perform? Here is everything you need to know.

Guitarist Brian, who previously teased the news of the band’s involvement, said: ’20 years after playing the Queen’s glorious Golden Jubilee we’re very happy to be invited again.

‘Then there was a moment when I wondered… after Buckingham Palace roof where can you go? Well… you will see!’

Queen and Adam Lambert will open the festival, which will see 22,000 people attend, including 10,000 tickets to be released to the general public (while thousands of key workers will also be invited).

Alicia will then perform, along with Duran Duran, Hans Zimmer, Ella Eyre, Craig David, Mabel, Elbow, and George Ezra.

Eurovision’s Sam Ryder, who made history at the song contest, will also perform.

Diana will round out the evening, and said: ‘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.’
