I'll tune in to watch Macca, but I couldn't care less about any of the other performers. Or the Queen or any of the rest of the royal family. Oh, for a republic one day.

This seems very lame in comparison to the Golden Jubilee celebrations.

This is just one aspect of the celebrations, there are many more things arranged already and other things all over the country that still have to be finalised.
I'm like Joe above and have no real interest in the Concert apart from Paul playing.

Yes, fair enough, but the Party at the Palace had several big name rock bands performing. The performers announced so far for this seem to be boring. I would say "suiting the Queen's tastes" but I can't see her liking Jessie J's style of music and surely Ed Sheeran is below her.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if HRH likes Madness, myself. Here's hoping Paul plays "Her Majesty"! (yeah, right)

I think its so obvious a choice that Paul has to Vonbontee. Very corny and sickly to do so however. Maybe he should just do the whole Abbey Road lp to make it seem more natural.

I think he played Her Majesty last time.
Yep, he did:

Wow, I never knew he played Her Majesty last time, thanks for posting!
But apart from Macca, it isn't exactly a brilliant line up.

There arent many recent UK acts out there that would add any major interest to the line-up. JLS, One Direction, Adele, Jessie J, Pixie Lott, Take That… depressing if any of those are scheduled to appear. Tho Adele's stock will be massive after her 6 Grammy win. Others that could be added are Noel Gallacher and a few bands like Coldplay, Snow Patrol, The Killers, but still dont make you want to run out and dance for joy and how many would be willing to attend.
And who is Lang Lang?
Having said all that i have applied for tickets. Mainly for Paul being there but was reading the news report and thought why not, millions will apply so probably wont be successful anyway. Turn up for Paul and then leave and to be there would be cool for about 10 minutes before getting fed up with little girls screaming for One Direction.
