The first acts confirmed for the Michael Jackson tribute concert

Michael Jackson's tribute concert has finally been given a line up. 

Although only a few acts have actually been confirmed, the names involved are impressive and the event is set to be rocked by Alien Ant Farm, who covered the King of Pop's 'Smooth Criminal' back in 2001, 90's pop act 3T and the UK's own Craig David.

The concert's promoters said:

"This announcement is just the beginning. This concert will [remind] … everyone of just how amazing a talent Michael was."

No other acts have been set in stone as of yet, but reports have suggested that Kanye West, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera have all been approached to headline.
