Primal Scream have been confirmed as the headline act for this year's Orange RockCorps concert in London.

The 'Country Girl' band will play for 11,000 volunteers at Wembley Arena on July 12, alongside Jessie J and Eliza Doolittle.

Fans can get tickets for the free concert by donating four hours of their time to help out community projects set up by communications provider Orange.

"I'm pretty stoked. To get a band the size of Primal Scream to come out and inspire all our volunteers is incredible," said Stephen Green, CEO and co-founder of RockCorps.

"Primal Scream is like one of these great iconic acts, it takes a little bit to line everything up. But when they, like Jessie J, heard they could come play the show and inspire 11,000 volunteers they made sure they could do it.

"Eliza's fantastic, it was a really easy ask. We told her what we were doing and she said: 'When do you need me? I'll be there'."

Previous volunteers for RockCorps include Lady GaGa and N-Dubz.
