Joe Perry and Ronnie Wood have joined the all-star lineup to the upcoming tribute concerts in honor of Jeff Beck.

News of the addition of Perry and Wood was confirmed by Beck's official website. Last month, Eric Clapton announced two tribute shows to Beck on May 22 and 23 at London's Royal Albert Hall. Both shows have officially sold out.

In addition to Clapton, other artists confirmed include Rod Stewart, Billy Gibbons, Gary Clark Jr., Johnny Depp and Robert Randolph. The bill is rounded out with Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Joss Stone, Doyle Bramhall, Imelda May and John McLaughlin. Members of Beck's band confirmed for the shows include Rhonda Smith, Anika Nilles and Robert Stevenson.

Beck died suddenly in January at age 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.
