Rolf Harris will face a retrial in a London court in May on four groping charges after a jury last week failed to reach verdicts against him.
His lawyers have also revealed they plan to appeal the Australian entertainer's convictions from first indecent assault trial in 2014.
He is currently serving time at Stafford for those convictions and is due out of jail on those convictions in July.
Last week a jury found the 86-year-old Harris not guilty on three groping charges.
But the jurors were unable to reach verdicts on four other charges, leading Judge Alistair McCreath to discharge them from deliberating further.
In Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, prosecuting lawyer Julia Faure Walker sought a retrial on three of those indecent assault charges plus an extra count of groping a girl's breast.
A charge which alleged Harris rubbed the bare back of a 19-year-old singer below her crop top and made lewd comments to her at a band rehearsal in 2002 will not be retried.
Faure Walker said said the prosecution was laying an extra charge in the case of a woman who alleges Harris groped her at a celebrity sports event in Cambridge in 1978 when she was 16.
When asked how he pleaded on the extra charge, Harris, wearing a dark suit and tie and appearing by video-link from Stafford Prison, replied, "not guilty".
Defence lawyer Stephen Vullo told the judge on Wednesday he would this week lodge grounds of appeal on convictions from that 2014 trial and he hoped the Court of Appeal would hear that matter before the retrial in May.
Judge McCreath set May 15 as the start date for the retrial that is expected to last two weeks.
When told by the judge that he could attend the retrial by video-link from Stafford, Harris replied, "thank you".
