Perry’s hits during a two-decade career include California Gurls, Roar, Firework and I Kissed a Girl.
Mr Sunak also insisted he and King Charles get on well at their weekly audiences.
He said he had been impressed by ‘just how unbelievably committed he is to serving our country and his strong desire to represent everybody, you know, from every walk of life’.
‘I think he does that really really brilliantly. And he deserves a lot of praise for that,’ the PM added.
‘I see it up close, and it’s a real privilege to be able to have that opportunity every week. And we’re lucky to have him doing that job.’
Alongside Perry, Take That, Lionel Richie and global opera star Andrea Bocelli are signed up to appear at the event in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Other names unveiled by the BBC include Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, and singer Freya Ridings who will perform a duet with producer and musician Alexis Ffrench.
Some 20,000 members of the public will attend the Coronation Concert on Sunday, May 7, which will be aired on BBC1 and Radio 2 along with catch-up services.
The concert has been billed as ‘celebrating a new chapter in the nation’s history’ and will have ‘themes of love, respect and optimism’ while celebrating the ‘four nations’ and the Commonwealth.
