Foo Fighters will headline The Invictus Games Closing Concert taking place on Sunday 14th September 2014 at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. The event will mark the conclusion of the new international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women.

Also added to the bill are Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding, Ryan Adams, The Vamps, Rizzle Kicks, James Blunt, Diversity, and Military Wives Choir.

Set on the south lawn of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the 26,000 capacity space will utilise the famous back-drop of the Stadium and The ArcelorMittal Orbit. Featuring some of the world’s greatest acts, the Invictus Games Closing Concert will also include the medal presentations for the inspirational winning competitors. Starting at 5pm, the five-hour event will also have highlights broadcast by the BBC.

Launched by Prince Harry earlier this year, the Invictus Games will use the power of sport to inspire recovery, and support rehabilitation.  Prince Harry said, "I am hugely grateful to all the artists and organisers for coming together in September to put on what will be a truly awesome concert. It will be a celebration of everything the competitors will have achieved over the four days of the Invictus Games, not to mention the efforts of the hundreds of other athletes we couldn't fit into the teams this year. And for those who didn't make it back from operations, this is also for you."

Tickets will go on sale at 9:00am on Friday 1st August priced at £49, and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
