Christina Aguilera to play at Michael Jackson tribute concert

Pop star Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Leona Lewis are set to perform at a tribute concert in honour of the late Michael Jackson.

More acts will be added to the bill nearer the time, organisers of the Michael Forever concert have said.

The gig is set to take place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on October 8.

While the concert has raised the doubts of Randy and Jermaine Jackson, who oppose its timing since it will take place during the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who is charged with the King of Pop's manslaughter, it has the full support of Michael's mother Katherine and other siblings La Toya, Marlon, Jackie, and Tito.

Alternative rockers Alien Ant Farm and British acts Leona Lewis, pop band JLS and Craig David have also been lined up to perform at the concert.

The Thriller singer died in June 2009 at the age of 50 while rehearsing for his This Is It tour.

The trial of Murray is set to begin in September.
