A mass sponsored sleep-out to raise money for the homeless will feature A-list "buskers" including Liam Gallagher and Deacon Blue.
The Sleep in the Park event in December will involve around 9,000 people sleeping rough in Edinburgh's West Princes Street Gardens and the city centre.
It is organised by the social enterprise Social Bite, which says it will be the world's largest ever sleep-out event.
Sir Bob Geldof will be among those sleeping rough, with the aim of raising £4m to tackle homelessness in Scotland.
During last year's event Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy and other wealthy Scots slept outside to raise money for a new village for the homeless.
The new village, which will accommodate 20 homeless people, is currently under construction.
This year's event will feature "busking" sets from the former Oasis frontman, Deacon Blue, Amy Macdonald and Frightened Rabbit.
It will be hosted by comedian Rob Brydon and John Cleese will perform a bedtime story.
Sports personalities and politicians are also expected to take part in the sleep-out.
Members of the public and businesses can take part in the event by meeting fundraising targets and accepting the sleep-out challenge.

The rocker told Radio X that his new For What It's Worth promo will be a bit like Nothing Compares 2 U.
Liam Gallagher has compared his forthcoming video to Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U.
The former Oasis frontman teased his plans to film his For What It’s Worth promo today (29 August), and explained why it's similar to one of the most iconic videos of all time.
Speaking to Radio X's Sunta Templeton at Leeds Festival this weekend, Gallagher revealed: "It’s gonna be me, obviously, staring at the camera, signing the song. No bells and whistles. Letting the song do the business, do you know what I mean?
The Wall Of Glass rocker added: “Maybe like Nothing Compares To You [...] That kind of thing. I’ve got the haircut for it."

Definitely Maybe is the debut album by English band Oasis, released on August 29th 1994. It was an immediate commercial and critical success in the UK, having followed on the heels of singles "Supersonic", "Shakermaker" and particularly the popular "Live Forever".
Definitely Maybe went straight to number one and 7x platinum in the UK Album charts on initial release. It was the fastest selling debut album of all time in the UK when released. Definitely Maybe marked the beginning of Oasis' success in America, selling over 1 million copies there, although only reaching #58 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to sell over 7.5 million copies worldwide.
In 1997 Definitely Maybe was named the 14th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 2005 Channel 4's '100 Greatest Albums' countdown placed the album at number 6. In 2006 NME placed the album third in a list of the greatest British albums ever, behind The Stone Roses and The Queen Is Dead. In a recent British poll, run by NME and the book of British Hit Singles and Albums, Definitely Maybe was voted the best album of all time with The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band finishing second and Revolver third. Q magazine readers placed it at five on their greatest albums of all time list in 2006 and in that same year NME hailed it as the greatest album of all time. It is frequently referred to as the greatest debut album of all time.
Album History
In 1994, Oasis were seen as a distant echo of the moribund 'Madchester' scene which had exploded in the early 1990s. Unlike other Madchester bands who indulged in experiments with funk, dance or hip-hop, Oasis presented themselves as a relatively straightforward rock and roll band. Along with bands like Blur and The Verve they seemed to encapsulate a new wave, one which did not yet have a name. By the end of the year the media coined the term Britpop, of which Definitely Maybe retrospectively became one of the pivotal albums.
Many of the songs had originally appeared on Oasis' "Live Demonstration" demo recorded in Liverpool the year before with Chris and Tony Griffiths of The Real People. The main recording sessions took longer than expected, with the bulk of the album having to be recorded three different times with Mark Coyle producing, before Owen Morris came up with a mix that everyone was satisfied with. The album cost nearly £85,000 to produce, a huge amount of money for a debut album at the time.
The album title, according to Noel Gallagher, comes from a poster he saw in a pub, although he cannot remember what the poster was advertising.

Wildman Liam Gallagher has stunned fans by telling them the key to a good life is “not drinking too much”.
The former Oasis frontman, 44, blamed his drug and drink-fuelled benders for causing the breakdown of his marriages to Pasty Kensit and Nicole Appleton.
And he urged fans to lay off the booze if they want to stay out of trouble.
He said: “I’ve made some howlers in my personal life, I’ve had a couple of marriages and hurt my kids and that.
“So personally, my advice would be don’t take too many drugs and don’t drink too much alcohol.
“You should stop that because that gets you in situations.
“But overall I’m quite happy with how it’s all gone and is going.
"I’m a good person and I’ve had a good life, rock‘n’roll has been very good to me.”
Liam, who fronted Oasis with brother Noel from the early 90s until their acrimonious split in 2009, became famous for his wild boozing.
But the star has calmed it down as he gets older so he can concentrate on his music.
He was back in action as he took to the stage at the weekend’s Reading and Leeds festivals.
The bad boy rocker left the crowd in good spirits by tweeting that his Leeds set was “up there if not better than” any Oasis gig.
But the goodwill didn’t last long, after the Mancunian star claimed that someone stole his sunglasses.
He later tweeted: “Rite to the c*** who robbed my shades backstage at reading I hope you die you c*** I guess it’s karma for stealing the show as you were LG x (sic)”

The following statement by Noel Gallagher, was posted on the Official Oasis Site on August 28th 2009.
"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.
"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."
Oasis were due to play the Rock en Seine festival in Paris but cancelled at the last minute. When the support band said Oasis would not be performing, many fans thought it was a joke, but then screens at either side of the stage showed this message: "As a result of an altercation within the band, the Oasis gig has been cancelled."
