The Queen's Jubilee performance is starting to take shape, with Ed Sheeran and Elton John already confirmed to perform.

The chart-topping artists, as well as other giants such as Stevie Wonder, are expected to perform at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee musical spectacular next summer.

Her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 were a big success, with Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, and Madness performing in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

Gary Barlow and the BBC put on the show over ten years ago.

The celebration next year is expected to be even bigger and better to commemorate the incredible achievement.

According to a source in the industry, The Sun: "The BBC is going all out to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a Party at the Palace."

They went on to state that the event will feature some of the world's top artists in a two-and-a-half-hour show that will be broadcast live on the channel.

"They have got Ed Sheeran and Stevie Wonder, who appeared at the Diamond Jubilee celebration, on the top of their list of performers and the organizers have already reached out." the source continued.

Despite the fact that Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road global tour coincides with the event, organizers are hopeful that the Rocket Man will be able to contribute.

In 2002, the celebrity faced similar problems during the Queen's Golden Jubilee Party at the Palace. He pre-recorded a set on that occasion, and while that may be an option again, there's also a chance he'll appear via live broadcast.

In any case, the organizers insist on having him on board.

The current goal is for the show to have a live audience, which will include a variety of A-list guests. However, a lot is dependent on how the pandemic situation develops.

“Given the events of the previous year and everything that has transpired in the world, the planners want the Party at the Palace to be the biggest celebration of not just Her Majesty but everything that is great about the United Kingdom,” said one of the organizers "Added the source.

They went on to state that the BBC is working hard to make sure that all of the artists involved reflect this, and that on the day, audiences should expect to see the finest of the best performing.

The concert, which honored the Queen's 60th year on the throne, was watched by almost 16 million people.

Fans were treated to a musical masterclass from Sir Tom Jones and Sir Paul McCartney, with celebrities like Jimmy Carr and Lenny Henry serving as hosts.
