Gary Barlow has announced another handful of big names for his Children In Need Rocks concerts, adding Barry Manilow, The Wanted, The Lumineers and Tom Odell to the line up.
Children In Need Rocks, two live music events set to take place at London's Eventim Apollo to raise money for disadvantaged children, will go ahead on Tuesday November 12 and Wednesday November 13. Other acts already confirmed for the star-studded event include Robbie Williams, Ellie Goulding, Little Mix, Rizzle Kicks, Bastille and Dizzee Rascal.
Speaking about the special show, Barry Manilow, who is visiting the UK tour next Summer for a string of arena and stadium shows, had this to say: "I have known Gary from early Take That days when they re-recorded my hit Could it be Magic in 1992. We have remained friends and I am thrilled he asked me to be a part of this great BBC Children in Need Rocks night.
"I have been proud to support BBC Children in Need for many years as it's a truly wonderful cause that does great work for children and young people in the UK. See you there on the night."
Barlow added: "We are in for a fantastic couple of nights with lots of amazing artists and some very exciting collaborations. I can't wait to get up on stage for a few numbers too, it's all for a great cause."
Chris Evans and Fearne Cotton will host both nights. The two shows will be edited into one TV programme for broadcast on BBC One and BBC One HD during Children In Need appeal week.
