Lorenzo and Nieto will lap the legendary Mountain Circuit ahead of the Senior TT on June 11.
Lorenzo said it will be "a great honour" to ride the TT course, while multiple World Champion Nieto added the experience would be "very emotional".
In a similar move to last year's visit by nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi, Lorenzo's visit has been organised by the TT’s Official Safety Partner, Dainese.
Lorenzo said:
“I’m very glad to have the opportunity to be at the TT this year and ride the Yamaha R1 together with Angel.
“It will be a great honour for me, because this is one of the most famous and epic races, it still keeps all the meaning of real motorcycling and pilots who ride here deserve the biggest respect. Further more I will bring my experience in testing the D-air® racing in MotoGP, as a Dainese Safety ambassador.”
