John Cale is expected to headline the show along with other music acts like Brett Anderson of Suede.

Cale's former band was created in New York City in 1964 with Lou Reed. He later separated ways to start his solo career that became successful. Aside from singing, Cale is also popularly known for producing albums like "Horses" by Patti Smith and The Stooges' first album ever.

Anderson is said to perform his song "Death Songbook" with Charles Hazlewood and Paraorchestra. It would be his first time singing the track in front of a live audience as it previously debuted online.
