Is it over already? This weekend, London 2012 comes to a close, but not before one last spectacular celebration - featuring the best in British music. And after the success of the Olympics Opening Ceremony, Sunday's Closing Ceremony has a lot to live up to...

Ahead of that show, we've pulled together all the information we could to bring you a list of the biggest names that will (and won't) be performing at the huge event.

With four billion viewers expected to tune in, Danny Boyle and co. want to make sure it goes right, so it's nice to know the bands queueing up to play are being vetted. That is to say, there'll be no N Dubz or Peter Andres to embarrass us all on a global scale.

A few people were even offered the chance to play the huge show and turned it down. Find out who is, who isn't and who might be performing at the Olympics 2012 Closing Ceremony.
