Madonna said on the Chime for Change website: '60 percent of the children in the world not in school, are girls. 2/3 of the world's illiterate are women.
'Do not accept this. We need to change this and we will change this.'
Also performing on June 1st are Ellie Goulding, Florence + The Machine, Haim, Iggy Azalea, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Laura Pausini, Rita Ora and Timbaland.

The charity - set up by Gucci - has put on the concert in conjunction with The Sound Of Change Live which aims to raise awareness of education, health and justice for women everywhere.
Tickets are priced at £55 and all sales go directly to projects the campaign supports.
Each ticket holder will receive a Sound Of Change voucher with which they can choose a charitable project to take part in.
