The London show is one of several taking place across the globe on July 7, which are being organised by former US Vice President Al Gore to highlight climate change issues.

Tickets for the gig – which will cost £55 – will be allocated by ballot, which fans can register for from 12pm (BST) on Friday (April 13) for 72 hours. After that time go to Livenation.co.uk/liveearth.

Concerts will also take place in Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Sydney, Tokyo and possibly New York, with profits going to organisations including the Alliance For Climate Protection, the Climate Group and Stop Climate Chaos.
