Other performers include Elton John, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Annie Lennox, Cliff Richard, Jessie J, boy band JLS and singer songwriter Ed Sheeran.
Barlow says the Princes William and Prince Harry had both requested artists to perform in front of an audience of more than 10,000, including the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the Royal Family.
