U2 frontman Bono, former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart, Queen guitarist Brian May and a host of other international stars, all of whom were to have appeared in February at the cancelled SOS Mandela Concert, are expected to appear at the day-long event.
The February concert, called off when a sponsor pulled out, was to have featured Queen, Macy Gray, Nelly Furtado, Shaggy, Jimmy Cliff, Johnny Clegg and Youssou N'dour.
"We can think of no better time, place or cause for us to return to the stage," Roger Taylor of Queen, who lost singer Freddie Mercury to Aids in 1991, told Rolling Stone magazine last year.
Promoter Roddy Quin of Real Concerts told the Sunday Times that organisers had been working tirelessly to re-stage the event ever since the February concert was called off.
