Exciting new acts join line-up for Visa London 2012 Party

The party is part of the UK-wide celebrations to mark the moment London becomes the official Host City for the Summer Olympic Games. The Feeling, Il Divo, Katherine Jenkins and McFly will also be performing, with further acts still to be announced.

Members of pop trio Scouting for Girls said: 'This will truly be one of the most memorable events that we have ever performed at, and we are so happy to be involved. Our nation should feel very proud to be the next Host City for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.'

Featuring unique collaborations and specially-arranged performances, some with a sporting theme, the show from The Mall will synchronise with the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, at which London Mayor Boris Johnson will be handed the Olympic flag in front of a worldwide audience of around 1.5 billion.

Tickets have already been allocated via a ballot, which was oversubscribed. For those that do not have tickets, you can watch the performances via the UK’s largest-ever network of public giant screens, known as ‘Live Sites’. The event will also be broadcast live to the rest of the nation on BBC One and BBC Radio 2.
