Bocelli has previously performed for Charles’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September last year aged 96.
He was among a star-studded lineup headlined by Diana Ross for the late monarch’s Platinum Jubilee concert marking her 70th year on the throne last June.
Further names for the Coronation Concert will be announced in due course, the BBC said.
APATHY
Despite the coronation being the first since 1953 and an event most Britons alive have never witnessed, public interest currently appears lacking.
Coronation coins have been minted, special chinaware produced and even a crown emoji made to mark the occasion at Westminster Abbey.
But a YouGov poll of more than 3,000 people published Friday indicated that just over a third (35 per cent) “do not care very much” about the event.
Just under a third (29 per cent) said they “do not care at all”, with apathy greatest among younger age groups.
About a quarter (24 per cent) of all respondents said they cared “a fair amount” and only about one in 10 people (9 per cent) said they cared “a great deal”.
Nonetheless, 46 per cent of Britons said they would likely watch or take part in celebrations, including street parties and community lunches on May 8, which has been declared a public holiday.
Preparations were ongoing for the solemn religious ceremony, whose roots date back more than a millennium, and the guest list finalised.
Charles’s younger son Prince Harry is set to attend, despite his public criticisms of the royal family since moving to the United States in early 2020.
The former British army captain’s actress wife, Meghan, however, will remain in California with their two young children.
