On Sunday, BBC shared a sneak peek of the Coronation Concert stage through three rendered images.

People also unveiled copies of the photos, showing the stage with multi-level floors for the 70-piece orchestra and band. Meanwhile, Windsor Castle also stands behind the stage, becoming a stunning backdrop for the concert.

Projections, lasers, and drone displays will also be presented during the show. Meanwhile, more photos of the stage are expected to be released before the May 7 event.

King Charles III's Coronation Concert will welcome 20,000 members of the public and royal family members who will witness A-list musicians perform as they celebrate the crowning.

Who Will Perform at King Charles III's Coronation Concert?

Ahead of the Coronation Concert, the publication also revealed that Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Take That, Alexis Ffrench, and Freya Ridings will perform at the show.

Previously, Elton John, Harry Styles, and The Spice Girls were tapped to become part of the lineup. However, the musicians announced their non-attendance due to conflicting schedules.

Buckingham Palace tried to cast Adele and Ed Sheeran but both declined due to different reasons.

BBC also revealed that Tom Cruise would make a cameo alongside Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger, dame Joan Collins, Tom Jones, and Bear Grylls.

In an interview with Extra, Richie expressed his excitement to become part of the show. However, he did not share details regarding his Coronation Concert performance.

"I must tell you I can't say a word - it's a royal secret," the "All Night Long" singer said. "They told me, 'Don't reveal.' But I would tell everybody if I could... I am trying my best to contain myself, but it's going to be one in a million times in history to be part of something like this."

After the May 7 event, King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation celebrations will continue until May 8. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has since declared that day a bank holiday as it will celebrate the UK's first coronation in 70 years.
