Next week the Earthshot Prize, founded by Prince William in 2020, will host its second annual awards ceremony in Boston, and today (28 November) the line-up of performers for the event has been revealed, featuring Billie Eilish, Chloe x Halle, Ellie Goulding, Finneas and Annie Lennox.

The 2022 Earthshot Prize ceremony will be co-hosted by Clara Amfo and actor, producer and director Daniel Dae Kim.

BBC reports that Goulding says of her involvement, "I am a big supporter of the Prince of Wales’ passion for the environment and share in The Earthshot Prize’s mission to protect and restore our planet. I am particularly excited for viewers around the world to learn about the innovative solutions presented by this year’s cohort of Finalists."

Annie Lennox adds, "The urgent need to protect and restore our Earth’s damaged environmental systems is essential for future survival. The objective of The Earthshot Prize is powerful in terms of building a ‘Waste-Free World’ and ‘Reviving Our Oceans.’ I’m therefore honoured to lend my voice in support of this ambitious mission."
