Coldplay, Michael Buble, Leona Lewis, JLS and One Direction have been confirmed as the special guests for the X Factor final at Wembley Arena next weekend.
Front man Chris Martin had previously suggested that they wouldn't take up the producers' offer because of a split decision in the band.
One Direction and JLS will be performing for the THIRD time this series, following their individual performances and cameo on the charity single.
Gary Barlow said: "This is the biggest final The X Factor has ever done. Being at Wembley Arena for the first time and in front of 10,000 people with Coldplay performing, I can't wait - it's going be an amazing night."
The decision to recall 1D might understandably hit a nerve with Matt Cardle, who beat the boys to the crown this time last year... and has a new single out on the week of the final.
Former winner Joe McElderry, who has a new album out this week, has also been snubbed altogether by producers this series.
Leona Lewis, who is one of only two winners in the show's history to have gone on to sell more records than the runner-up, will be making her first appearance on the show since the 2009 final. She reportedly is planning to release a new EP by the end of the month.
It is not yet known if any of the confirmed acts are expected to duet with finalists, who will be any three of Marcus Collins, Little Mix, Misha B and Amelia Lily.
