Actor Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, have both been tapped to serve as hosts at the 90th birthday bash for former South African president, Nelson Mandela.

According to UK paper The Sun, the event is set for June 27 at London's Hype Park and has been set up Mandela's 46664 campaign against Aids team.

Bands such as Razorlight, Keane, Queen and Annie Lennox have all signed up to perform.

Sources said that others who have been approached include the Spice Girls, U2, Paul McCartney and rapper Eminem.

While Eminem, U2 and the aforementioned artists possibly performing have not been confirmed, a source said that since it will most likely be Mandela's "last official international public appearance," they want it to be "special."

The source also told The Sun that "Eminem's up for it too. People will be surprised. He's not someone you'd expect to play a Mandela charity gig."

A reported 45,000 tickets are expected to be sold, but there's not definite date as to when tickets will go on sale.
