Harry Styles, Dua Lip and Ed Sheeran are being lined up to headline a massive fundraising concert.
Harry Styles, Dua Lip and Ed Sheeran for huge charity gig
The trio are among a host of stars - which also includes Robbie Williams, Sir Rod Stewart, Kylie Minogue, Coldplay, Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith - who are set to be approached about performing at a special charity gig to mark 50 years of the Silver Clef awards in 2026.
Nordoff and Robbins CEO Sandra Schembri told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “We are talking to all the people that love us and we are seeing what might be possible.
“We have someone who is working out who, where and what is possible, who would be willing to come back and who would be willing to support us.
“When we did Knebworth, there was not a penny to raise.
“Sometimes, when you work with artists, the artists will do it for free. There is always the production costs and all the get up, but with Knebworth, they paid for everything.
"The artists laid back on all their costs. We were very lucky."
The concert would replicate the 1990 Silver Clef Winners concert, which raised millions to set up the Brit School and the Nordoff and Robbins music therapy centre.
Schembri added: "Knebworth 2026 would be great as that is how we and The Brit School got our centres.
"About £6million [$7.7 million] was raised — £3million[$3.8m million] bought us our Nordoff and Robbins London centre. I think it is Europe’s largest music therapy centre because of that concert.
"There will be 49 Silver Clef winners by the time we get to the gig.
“Some have passed away, like David Bowie, but it would be great to have as many as we can back. Can they help us get to the next generation?"
