The event, which takes place in Oslo on December 11, will honour Laureate Martti Ahtisaari.
Feist, Dierks Bentley, Julieta Venegas, Seun Kuti and Marit Larsen also feature in the lineup, with more artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
Ahtisaari, the former President of Finland, is being recognised for "his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts".
"The Nobel Committee is thrilled to welcome such an impressive array of mindful and talented artists to help us spread the message of peace around the world," said Geir Lundestad, Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
"It promises to be a spectacular evening and we encourage everyone to tune in and join us."
Previous prize winners include Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan and Al Gore.
