Speaking about his band's involvement Elbow frontman Guy Garvey said: “We’re absolutely over the moon about playing at this gig. The line-up looks amazing and it’s brilliant to be involved in an event that will make a difference to so many people’s lives.”
Rourke will also be appearing along with New Order bassist Peter Hook and Mani in new group Freebass, along with Badly Drawn Boy, Doves, 808 State and Stephen Fretwell, who are all playing.
