Pop stars, footballers, celebrity chefs and Nobel Prize winners from across Europe have signed a letter urging the UK to "please stay" in the EU.
Arsene Wenger, Raymond Blanc and Bjorn Ulvaeus are among the signatories.
More than 140 signatories include Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, Michelin chef Raymond Blanc and Abba songwriter Bjorn Ulvaeus.
The letter, published in the Times Literary Supplement, says: "It (the 23 June vote) is your decision, and we will all accept it.
"Nevertheless, if it will help the undecided to make up their minds, we would like to express how very much we value having the United Kingdom in the European Union.
"It is not just treaties that join us to your country, but bonds of admiration and affection. All of us hope that you will vote to renew them. Britain, please stay."
Other signatories include French actors Christophe Lambert, Clemence Poesy and Julie Delpy, Swedish actress Sofia Helin, Germany footballer Per Mertesacker and Italian model Isabella Rossellini.
On a day when David Cameron will take part in the first major television event of the referendum campaign live on Sky News, his opponents are set to focus on the impact of EU membership on housing.
Vote Leave claims there is no "realistic possibility" money will be found to fund the infrastructure needed to match immigration levels.
Ex-defence secretary Liam Fox will say: "Most new immigrants move into the private rented sector, which has grown as the immigrant population has grown.
"Competition for rented accommodation obliges all those in the private rented sector to pay high rents which take a large share of income and makes saving to buy a home even harder.
"These resulting high rents and a shortage of housing make it much more difficult for young people to set up home on their own so they have to spend more time in house shares or with their parents."
However, bosses from house builders Hopkins Homes, Norfolk Homes, Crest Nicholson and L&Q disagree.
They say Brexit would lead to an economic downturn that would make it harder to build new homes.
Meanwhile, Chancellor George Osborne and Labour predecessor Alistair Darling have written an open letter to Vote Leave accusing them of "making it up as you go along".
They want answers to questions about what kind of trading relationship Britain would have with the EU, how long negotiations would take and whether tariffs would be imposed.
The letter says: "It is simply not good enough to pretend to the British people that they can vote leave and there would not be profound and negative economic consequences that would affect them and their families.
It adds: "Please can you answer these basic economic questions, that the British people have still not had answers to."
