Nas and Nelly have been added to the Orange RockCorps line-up.

The huge-selling rap heavyweight and plaster-faced chart-topper will take to the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall on September 25, playing for 5000 kind-hearted volunteers.

The pair join previously announced acts Razorlight, David Guetta & Kelly Rowland, Daniel Merriweather and Chase & Status.

In order to earn tickets for the star-studded Orange RockCorps gig, volunteers will have given a collective 20,000 hours to improving communities in the London area.

More than 60 volunteer projects will have taken place across London by the day of the gig, including Thames 21, Somerville Adventure Playground and Vauxhall City Farm. Projects tackle a range of issues, including the environment, housing and education.
