James Blunt will be joined the likes of Robbie Williams, Pixie Lott, The Saturdays, Alexandra Burke and Katherine Jenkins for this year’s Heroes Concert, to raise money for charity Help For Heroes.
Classical crossover star Katherine Jenkins said, “I’m really proud to be a part of what is going to be the most amazing day in honour of our troops. The troops have always been very close to my heart having visited them overseas many times. It’s fantastic that so many artists are coming together to raise awareness and show support of all that they do.”
With it’s stellar line up, organisers had to seek permission from venue Twickenham Stadium to increase their capacity by 5000 to accommodate extra troops and fans, bringing the number of tickets upto 60,000 for the very first time.
James and the other headliners will be joined by comedians including John Bishop, Jack Dee and Michael McIntyre, with all proceeds going straight to Help For Heroes, helping to fund rehabilitation centres around the country.
