Alesha Dixon, The Wanted, Katherine Jenkins and Enrique Iglesias have been added to the line-up for the Heroes Concert in London.
The event, which takes place on 12 September at Twickenham Stadium, will be held in aid of Help for Heroes.Acts announced so far include Robbie Williams, James Blunt, Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott, Plan B and The Saturdays.
There will also be appearances from comedians Jack Dee, Jason Manford, Michael McIntyre, and Peter Kay.
Alesha Dixon said: "I'm really excited and privileged to be playing the concert, firstly and foremost because it's for such an amazing cause but also because there are so many other amazing acts on the bill.
"Our troops have been through so much for us and to give just a little bit back is a real honour."
Organisers have added another 5,000 capacity to the stadium, which means it will hold 60,000 fans and troops.
The gig will be shown on BBC One and broadcast to military bases around the world on British Forces Broadcasting (BFBS).
Help For Heroes raises money to fund rehabilitation centres for injured troops across the UK.
