Patrick Wolf has announced that ex-Soft Cell star Mark Almond and former Atari Teenage Riot frontman Alec Empire will be his special guests at an upcoming live show.

The singers will perform at Wolf's one-off concert at the London Palladium on November 15.

Wolf said: "It is a total honour that I am able to duet with the legendary singer-songwriter, Marc Almond. To me, he is one of the most genius brave and passionate renaissance artists of the last three decades, a total inspiration.

"We will be doing two songs together, but time will tell what they may be. Hopefully one from each of our own songbooks."

He added: "The other fantastic guest will be Alec Empire, flying in from Berlin. We are still preparing our collaboration on the night but it will definitely be a live continuation of the work we have done together over the last two years.

"To me, Alec is one of the seminal revolutionary beat makers and noise makers around and as always it blows my mind to think we are working together now, when I think back to sneaking in with a fake ID to the London Astoria to see Atari Teenage Riot play aged 14."

Wolf has claimed that the venue for the show was inspired by a chance meeting with actress Whoopi Goldberg.
