Kasabian will team up with former Leicester City footballers and rugby legend Martin Johnson in a kick-about to support a charity in memory of a teenager who died while out jogging.
The all-star match will see a Kasabian XI led by bassist Chris Edwards take on a Foxes legends side featuring former City hero Muzzy Izzet.
Joe Humphries, 14, collapsed a few minutes from his home in Rothley in October, a victim of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (Sads) – the adult version of cot death.
His family has since created the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust to promote awareness of the condition.
Chris, who urged Kasabian fans to help spread the word with an appeal on the band's website in April, said: "Losing someone with so much potential as Joe at such a young age has been heart-breaking for his family and friends.
"But the work they have done in such a short time since his death has been inspirational. Sads is something everyone should know about and the more people trained to act when someone's heart stops beating, the more lives can be saved.
"Most people know me and the rest of the band are big football fans and this all-star match against the Foxes Legends is something we are really happy to be involved with.
"We're hoping for a big crowd and the Kasabian All-Stars will be going all out for a win."
Martin Johnson, who is patron of Joe's trust and pretty nifty by all accounts with a round ball, will line up with the Foxes Legends.
Organisers said supporters can also expect another glimpse of the silky skills of Kasabian guitarist Sergio Pizzorno, who turned heads with his sublime goal in last year's televised celebrity Soccer Aid game at Old Trafford.
Since Joe's death, family and friends have campaigned for a better understanding of Sads and compulsory CPRresuscitation training in schools.
They also want to see defibrillators made available in all schools, community venues and sports clubs.
Joe's dad Steve – a former Leicester City goalkeeper – said the match would be a fitting tribute to his son, the prefect curtain-raiser for City's new Championship campaign and a must for all Kasabian and Foxes fans. He said: "We've been touched by the way people have been getting behind Joe's trust to hep us raise awareness and reduce the incidence of Sads happening to other families.
"Joe loved music and sport, so this is another fitting occasion to pay tribute to our amazing son, brother and friend."
Admission to the game, which will kick off at 2pm, is by donation, with a minimum £3 suggested for adults and under-fives free.
All proceeds will go to the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust CPR training and defibrillator campaign.
