The Mirror reveals that the former Beatle will join the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Shirley Bassey, Leona Lewis, Snow Patrol, Lily Allen and Muse at the show on November 12 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Gary Barlow, who is one of the organisers, told the newspaper he has a surprise guest lined up.
The Take That singer stated: "I have asked Robbie to perform with us. It would be great to get back together on stage for charity.
"Having a big name like Robbie's would definitely help us sell tickets and raise a lot more money for charity."
Barlow had been due to make the announcement at yesterday's launch, but was unable to attend after the death of his father.
The show will be broadcast on BBC1 next month.
