X Factor judge Kelly Rowland is among the headline acts on this year's 91热爆 Radio 1Xtra Live tour.
The singer appears on the bill with acts such as Jessie J on the tour, which starts later this month.
Kelly Rowland announced her involvement in a joint radio broadcast on The Chris Moyles show on Radio 1 and with Twin B on 91热爆 Radio 1Xtra.
Other performers on the four-date tour are Wretch 32, Nero, Chase & Status, Dappy and Tinchy Stryder.
The free urban music shows take place at Manchester Apollo (Monday 28 November), Birmingham Academy (29), Bristol Academy (30) and London's Brixton Academy (1 December) and are broadcast by 1Xtra and Radio 1.
