Sir Tom Jones and Van Morrison are set to headline Hampton Court Palace Festival in August.
The Welsh music legend is set to play two consecutive nights kicking off on August 23 at the royal landmark in Richmond upon Thames, while the Brown Eyed Girl hitmaker will perform on the first night on August 13.
The festival was originally meant to take place in June, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing restrictions not expected to be fully lifted until June 21, Hampton Court Palace Festival will return on August 13 to 24.
Also on the bill is Bastille ReOrchestrated, which will see the band perform tracks from their three albums with a 20-piece orchestra and choir on August 17 and August 18.

The Killers’ hit track ‘Mr. Brightside’ has now spent a total of five whole years in the UK’s Top 100.
The iconic single was first released in 2003 and it has now cemented its place in the history book by becoming the only song in the history of the Official UK Singles Chart to spend 260 weeks – or a whopping five years – in the top 100.
‘Mr. Brightside’ has held on to the top spot for longest-running chart hits for some time, as its closest competitor is Snow Patrol’s ‘Chasing Cars’, which has spent almost 100 weeks less time in the charts with a total of 166 weeks.

It may be 1 April, but the Official Charts Company can confirm this is not actually a joke.
Mr Brightside by The Killers continues to prove itself the chart hit that can’t be kept down. This week the track logs a record-breaking 260th non-consecutive week – or a full FIVE YEARS - on the Official UK Singles Chart Top 100, according to Official Charts Company records.
No song in UK chart history has notched up anywhere near as many weeks in the Top 100 - the closest is Snow Patrol’s 2006 Top 10 hit Chasing Cars, at 166 weeks.
Mr Brightside has become the stuff of legend on the Official Chart. The indie-pop anthem spent just four weeks in the Top 100 upon its original 2004 release, peaking at Number 10. The years since have seen it become a staple at many a party or club night, helping it rack up lots of streams and downloads every week.

Gwen Stefani had mixed emotions marking the 25th anniversary of No Doubt album Tragic Kingdom last year, because the songs still leave her feeling a little heartbroken.
The singer detailed her split from her bandmate Tony Kanal on the project, and even though they have both long moved on, celebrating its release milestone didn t feel quite right for Stefani. The whole purpose for the Tragic Kingdom is the breakup, the heartbreak. There s a lot of feelings, she shared on U.S. late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Even in that record, when you say the words tragic kingdom, my heart still kind of is broken. Cause those songs were about a really sad time for me, she explained.
