20 years after the tragic murder of teenager Stephen Lawrence, music's biggest names are uniting for a special concert championing youth and social empowerment.

Following a launch at Abbey Road studios earlier this afternoon, with Doreen Lawrence, Emeli Sande and Rizzle Kicks in attendance, the line up has been announced for Unity - A Concert For Stephen Lawrence - taking place on 29 September at The O2 Arena.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday 21 June at 9am from www.aeglive.co.uk, with profits in aid of The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust

Doreen Lawrence OBE, Founder of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, said, "Our aim is to build hope for the future. Justice for Stephen is about all of us, every one of us, in society having justice. I want young people to feel inspired, be confident and have hope in their own future. There have been a further 106 racist murders since Stephen was killed 20 years ago and there are still too many young people who do not have a sense of hope. We work every day to empower youth and we're so proud that the music industry is joining us in reaching out to change the lives of young people."
