On Friday 21 September Wembley Arena will host Peace One Day's biggest concert to date featuring a headline performance by Elton John & his band.

The concert  is the final event of the London 2012 Festival and is also a legacy show celebrating the Global Truce on Peace Day 2012 and the culmination of the Olympic Truce.

Jeremy Gilley said: “Peace One Day is calling for and working towards a Global Truce on Peace Day 2012. We have a clear strategy and we hope this will be the largest global reduction of violence ever recorded on one day – Peace Day. This day is as much about non-violence in our schools, our homes, workplace and local communities as it is about ceasefire on the international stage.

Everyone has a role to play. The Wembley Arena show will highlight and celebrate Peace Day 2012 activities as part of the Global Truce 2012 campaign and handover to Rio de Janeiro Olympics 2016. I’m honoured to welcome Elton John and so grateful to him for giving his time to help Peace One Day take this message to the people of the world.”

Elton John said, “When Jeremy and Jude came to see me and told me about Peace One Day and the Global Truce 2012 campaign I had to get involved and support them. I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the 21st September at Wembley Arena!”

Jude Law who is producing the concert with Gilley said, “I’ve been involved with Peace One Day for such a long time, and it’s thrilling that Elton is performing at the Peace One Day Celebration on 21 September this year. It’ll be a wonderful event”

Tickets for this incredible concert go on sale at 10am on Monday 18th June.

The Wembley Arena show, which will be filmed in HD and broadcast internationally, is the final in a trilogy of Peace One Day concerts produced as part of the London 2012 Festival.
