Coldplay and Tinie Tempah will play a charity concert in London next month.
The acts will head up the Under 1 Roof event at the capital's O2 Arena on December 10 along with newcomer Emeli Sande.
The gig will raise money for London-based children's charity Kids Company, who Coldplay have been long-term supporters of.
The event has been organised by the band to help the organisation, which was established in 1996 and works with vulnerable young people in deprived areas of the capital.
Writing on their official site, the group stated: "Kids Company is a phenomenal organisation that is very close to our hearts.
"We hope that people get behind the event to raise as much money for Kids Company as possible.
"On our side, we can promise anyone that buys a ticket that they'll be part of a very special night."
Comedians Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan will also perform, with Coogan channeling his popular persona Alan Partridge.
Tickets will go on sale from 9am on November 25.
