Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith and actor Will Smith arrive at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in West Hollywood.

“The opportunity to recognize the laureate’s contributions to the world peace movement will be an awe-inspiring experience,” the couple said in a joint statement. “We are both humbled and honored to take part in the Nobel Peace Prize Concert this year.”

Taking place the day after the Nobels are handed out, the concert will include performances by Wyclef Jean, Toby Keith, Donna Summer, Luis Fonsi and Amadou & Mariam.

The winner of this year’s prestigious Nobel Peace Prize will be announced Oct. 9, but the recipient will not actually receive the award until Dec. 10.

“We’re excited to have Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith join us as hosts for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert,” said Geir Lundestad, secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. “Together they’ve had a global impact on the arts and philanthropy and will be excellent ambassadors for peace.”
