Annie Lennox, Corinne Bailey Rae and James Morrison are to headline a concert campaigning for global peace.

The Peace One Day gig will take place on September 21 at London's Royal Albert Hall. Beth Orton and Marc Almond will also perform at the concert, which is being supported by Richard Branson and music mogul Simon Fuller.

David Beckham and Jude Law have pledged to record video messages for the event.

Lennox said: "Something that is of common interest to every man, woman or child on the planet must surely be the notion of peace. Without peace we cannot survive.

"This special musical event will be taking place at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate and commemorate the spirit of the occasion. I'm thrilled and delighted to be part of it, and to contribute to making Peace One Day a reality."
