The Black Eyed Peas will be playing a free Show of Peace concert this spring in Beijing, China.
Legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry are also set to appear at the event.
The entire Aerosmith clan was also reported to be making an appearance at the concert, though the band's official fan club - AeroForceOne - says the rumors are false.
The first annual Show of Peace concert, which will be televised globally on April 17, is expected to draw roughly 100,000 people to Beijing's Bird's Nest stadium. The event marks Earth Day, which is celebrated annually to promote environmental awareness, promoter Rick Garson says.
"Tickets are free," he said. "You can't charge for peace and green. It is going to be for everybody, it's like China's gift to the world and the people."
"What we are going to do is raise money, obviously, from sponsorship, international distribution, merchandising, Internet, ringtones, DVDs, CDs. That's how we are doing it, it is being self-funded as we speak."
