(CBS/AP) American musician John Legend and British folk rockers Mumford & Sons will be performing Wednesday night at the White House at the state dinner for Bristish Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife.

According to the Associated Press, the Obamas are big John Legend fans and David and Samantha Cameron are big fans of Mumford & Sons.

The full guest list for the dinner won't come out until guests are on their way. But a few excited guests couldn't wait to share their news.

"Homeland" actor Damian Lewis is coming, jetting in from Europe just for the event. And President Barack Obama might want to get some golfing tips from Rory McIlroy, who tweeted that he's coming, and posted a photo of himself being fitting for his dinner suit.
