Pole vault star Armand Duplantis was undefeated last year and hopes to repeat that feat this season.
His biggest competitor in Gateshead is likely to be American Sam Kendricks.
- I am very expectant before returning to the UK.
I have fond memories of pole vaulting in the UK.
My first World Cup was in London four years ago and I set a world record of 6.18 in Glasgow just over a year ago, Duplantis said earlier.
In addition, Thobias Montler, long jump, Fanny Roos, shot put, Kim Amb, javelin and Kalle Berglund, 1,500 meters, will also compete in the gala.
Among other things, the long jumper Montler will face the reigning world champion Tajay Gayle and in the 1,500-meter race, Kalle Berglund will compete with the Norwegian star Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
All five Swedes have already been selected for the Olympics in Tokyo.
