As host broadcaster BBC Wales has also offered to give access to its pictures from 7-9pm to enable the Millennium Stadium to make the television coverage available to other broadcasters in the UK and beyond.

There will be live coverage of the whole concert on BBC Radio Wales as well as extensive broadcasts on BBC Radio Two with the BBC’s radio feed also being made available to other radio stations.

"As host broadcaster, BBC Wales wants to help the Millennium Stadium to make this one of the biggest events ever staged in Wales and, most importantly, we want to enable the Disaster Emergency Committee to get its fund-raising message across to the widest possible audience" said Keith Jones, BBC Wales Head of Welsh Language Programmes.

The concert features a line-up that includes Eric Clapton, Feeder, Lemar, Badly Drawn Boy, Embrace, Manic Street Preachers, Snow Patrol, Keane and more.
