"Live Earth is about engaging a global audience with tools to tackle the climate crisis," Live Earth founder Kevin Wall said. The London show will be broadcast live on BBC television and radio and shown in 120 countries.
The Foo Fighters, Duran Duran, Snow Patrol and Razorlight will also perform at the London gig alongside rap group The Beastie Boys, singer-songwriters David Gray and Damien Rice and R&B pianist John Legend.
The Black Eyed Peas, Bloc Party, Corinne Bailey Rae, Keane and Paolo Nutini complete the Wembley bill so far, with more acts expected to be announced.
The concerts aim to set a "green example" for other music events by using measures such as eco-friendly electricity, sustainable lighting and carbon-neutral travel.
