Stars including Sir Roger Daltrey, Paul Weller and Robert Plant will honour broadcaster Bob Harris in a tribute to his career at the Royal Albert Hall.
Stand By Me: Bob Harris – A Celebration Of Life In Music will take place on December 2.
The one-off show will also include performances by Rick Wakeman, Carly Pearce, Chris Difford, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Judie Tzuke, Kate Rusby, The Shires, Kezia Gill and Toby Lee.
Harris, 80, has long been a passionate advocate for country, folk, Americana and singer-songwriters and introduced generations of listeners to emerging talent alongside established stars.
Many of the artists due to perform in the show were championed by Harris during his broadcasting career, with more artists to be announced at a later date.
Harris said: “I’ve been blessed and honoured to have been there with all these artists right at the beginning of their careers, so we all have long working relationships and deep friendships.
“I truly love the Royal Albert Hall too. I first began attending concerts there in 1968, and it is, to me, the most beautiful and prestigious venue in Britain.
“So I feel so honoured to have these wonderful artists with me onstage at my favourite venue. Bringing this music together for Stand By Me is the realisation of a dream.”
The event will also feature broadcasting and music figures on stage to present the show and share their memories of Harris.
Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am.
Known as Whispering Bob, the broadcaster presented BBC Two music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test from 1972 to 1979.
He later presented BBC Radio 2’s The Country Show on Thursday nights from 1999 to 2026 and Sounds Of The 70s from 2024 to March 2026.
Harris took a step back from presenting his weekly shows earlier this year due to his treatment for prostate cancer.
He said at the time that leaving his shows was “one of the hardest decisions of my life”.
Harris was first diagnosed in 2007 and was successfully treated.
In April this year, he revealed the cancer had spread to his spine which led to a two-week course of radiotherapy in hospital.
The presenter said Radio 2 has been “supportive beyond words” while he receives treatment.
