Pop icons Melanie C, Simon Le Bon and Shaznay Lewis will headline this year's hotly anticipated Roundhouse Rising gala.

The star-studded event at the Chalk Farm landmark raises vital funds for its non-profit creative programme for young people.

Tables are still available for the March 20 show with profits going towards the Roundhouse's mission to change lives through the arts - offering affordable classes, workshops and studio space for 8,000 young people a year.

Le Bon continues to have success as lead vocalist of 1980s icons Duran Duran, who have more than 100 million record sales under their belt.

He was approached by Hampstead resident and legendary producer Trevor Horn, who is on the Roundhouse Gala committee and also performs on the night with his band.

“Trevor Horn is someone I have enormous respect for, both as an artist and a man, so when he called and asked if I would come and sing at the Gala I immediately agreed," he said.

"The money we raise on the night is going to a great cause, and I’m really happy to be doing something to help young people."

After finding huge success as lead songwriter in the All Saints, Shaznay Lewis has just released her first solo music in 20 years.

She said: “My years in the music industry have shown me its transformative power time and again. The impact of sharing space with a like-minded community can hold weight for a lifetime. I’m truly looking forward to coming together for a night of music, art, and making a difference to young lives."

Meanwhile Melanie C has enjoyed a booming solo career after finding fame as one of The Spice Girls, who remain the best-selling female group of all-time with 85 million record sales worldwide.

Melanie said: "This was an unmissable opportunity for me, as it’s more than a performance - it’s a celebration of the arts and a commitment to nurturing our creative community. I’m hoping this will be the most successful year yet for supporting the talented young individuals entering the doors of the Roundhouse."

More performers will be announced for the biennial event. The last gala raised an incredible £1.2 million with tickets including a sit-down dinner, incredible entertainment, and an auction of exclusive prizes featuring artworks by Sir Antony Gormley and Marc Quinn.
