BLACKPOOL, England, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- U.S. singer Lady Gaga will be among the stars performing for Britain's Queen Elizabeth II at the upcoming Royal Variety Performance.

The BBC reported Friday the "Poker Face" singer will join fellow singers Miley Cyrus, Bette Midler and Michael Buble at the Dec. 7 performance at the Opera House in Blackpool, Britain.

The annual event, which benefits the Entertainment Artists' Benevolent Fund, will be hosted by comedian Peter Kay.

The BBC said the queen and her husband Prince Philip will also watch a performance by the urban dance group Diversity, which won the right to perform at the Royal Variety show by winning the TV series "Britain's Got Talent."
