The official line up for the upcoming Stephen Lawrence concert has been announced today (June 18) and it will see live performances from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and Tinie Tempah. 

The event will take place on September 29 at London's O2 Arena and it has been organised to raise awareness for Lawrence (pictured left), who was murdered in a racist attack back in 1993.

Other stars who have been confirmed to play live sets include Rizzle Kicks, Rudimental, Plan B and Labrinth. Proceeds from the gig will benefit the Stephen Lawrence Trust, which helps to provide opportunities for those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday, June 21. 

A press release about the event explains: "This event sees UK artists and the music industry working together to create a one-off concert and raise awareness and money for the Stephen Lawrence Trust, further providing opportunities for those disadvantaged by their colour, their postcode, their ethnicity or their poverty – across the UK. All the artists will perform tracks specially chosen for their social message."
