Jennifer Lopez joins line-up for Beyoncé’s charity concert at Twickenham

SuperstarJ-Lo will perform in a fundraising concert for a women’s organisation in London this summer.

Jennifer Lopez is among stars including Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora and James Franco who will take to the stage at The Sound of Change Live gig at Twickenham Stadium on June 1, organised by Beyoncé.

The show is the brainchild of Chime for Change, an organisation founded by Gucci which campaigns for improved education, health and justice for women and girls worldwide. The concert will be broadcast to millions across the globe. Beyoncé, who will perform a 45-minute set, said: “I am excited that so many fantastic artists have agreed to perform with me to raise funds and awareness for Chime for Change.

“Our goal is to convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for girls and women around the world so that they cannot be ignored.”

The proceeds will help fund 120 projects supporting women in more than 70 countries.
