Jeff Lynne’s ELO occupies the Sunday afternoon “legends” slot, which in recent years has been filled by Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers.
The Syrian National Orchestra, whose members have fled around the world due to the conflict in the country, is also set to perform. The orchestra is already performing a concert with Blur and Gorillaz singer Damon Albarn at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Saturday 25 June.
