Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams and Nicole Sherzinger are to perform at the World Cup draw on Friday.
The musicians will perform at this event, which takes place in Washington D.C, which will be presented by Heidi Klum, Kevin Hart and Danny Ramirez. The draw will be watched by millions of viewers, taking place at the John F Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts.
On stage, Andrea Bocelli will take to the stage, alongside former Pussy Cat Doll, Sherzinger, with Village People performing YMCA at the conclusion.
The tournament will see 48 teams, who will find out their opponents for next year's tournament, which will be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament will include 48 teams.
Speaking about the event, TV star Klum said: "To be hosting the final draw again, after having been involved in this show 20 years ago in my home country, is truly extraordinary".
Klum, who had previously taken part in the 2006 tournament in Germany, added: "The World Cup brings the world together like nothing else, and being part of that magic again, on an even bigger stage involving three host countries and 48 teams, is an incredible honour".
Elsewhere, Top Gun star Ramirez said that he was excited to be involved, considering his connections to two of the three host nations.
"As someone who grew up playing football, getting to co-host the draw and meet and speak with World Cup legends at such a high-profile event is a dream," he said. "With this tournament coming to the United States, where I was born, and Mexico, where some of my roots lie, it is even more special – and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this show".
The World Cup draw is available to view on FIFA's website and RTÉ2 from 5pm this Friday (December 5).
