The concert will also feature a virtual choir, made up of singers from across the Commonwealth, for a special performance on the night.

The centrepiece of the Coronation Concert, Lighting Up the Nation, will see the country join together in celebration as iconic locations across the United Kingdom are lit up, using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations.

The concert will feature a broad mix of music spanning pop to classical, along with spoken word and dance performances reflecting arts and culture from around the UK and the wider Commonwealth.
