TAKE That are set to headline the King’s coronation concert — with ex-bandmate Jason Orange possibly rejoining for the gig.
The band, whose hits include Could it be Magic and Rule the World, are planning a show-stopping set at Windsor Castle for May’s royal bash.

The boyband will perform for Charles and Camilla – as well as millions of TV viewers
Frontman Gary Barlow, 52, will be joined by bandmates Mark Owen, 51, and Howard Donald, 54, to perform for Charles and Queen Consort Camilla and millions of TV viewers.
Jason, 52, who left the band in 2014, is in talks to rejoin for the bash, which will be screened live on BBC from the castle lawns 24 hours after the coronation.
But Robbie Williams, who quit Take That in 1995, is believed to have ruled himself out of appearing.
Take That formed in 1990 and have had 12 number one hits over four decades, selling 45million records around the world.
Barlow has previous royal form after helping to organise Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Concert in 2012.
He also produced a track for the occasion called Sing, which was performed by choirs from around the Commonwealth.
Take That are embarking on their first tour in four years in the summer, taking in London’s Hyde Park, Finland and Denmark.
But they had kept free Sunday, May 7 — the day of the concert — in case they got the nod from organisers.
Other stars who will perform at the concert include Kylie Minogue, 54, and her sister Dannii, 51.
Kylie headlined WorldPride in Sydney and brought out Dannii for their first performance together since 2015.
Lionel Richie, 73, is also expected to perform at the coronation concert, with more acts expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
A source said: “The biggest names and acts in world music are being approached for the concert.
“If you draw up a list of the most popular acts in the world over the past 30 years then they are all being considered.
“But Take That were right near the top of that list and are a massive coup for the organisers to get over the line so early.”
Robbie Williams will likely not perform with his old band at the concert
Aussie sisters Kylie and Dannii Minogue will also be performing at the coronation
