Billboard writes that Cee-Lo and Xtina are booked in, alongside Brits Leona Lewis, JLS and Craig David, legend Smokey Robinson, and Alien Ant Farm (of course).
The controversial show, titled Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert, has caused conflict within the Jackson family, with Jermaine and Randy questioning the timing due to ongoing legal proceedings following Michael’s death.
Paul Ring, an executive for organiser Global Live Events, said “This announcement is just the beginning, we have many more to announce.
“This concert will unite various generations and musical genres, reminding everyone of just how amazing a talent Michael was.”
The tribute concert is booked for October 8 at Wales’ Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
