Labrinth's track, 'Beneath your Beautiful' a collaboration with Scottish singer Emeli Sande, shot from 85th in the charts to number one partly due to an appearance on the X-Factor results show.

He will now appear in the West Midlands on Saturday December 15 alongside boy bands JLS, McFly, Lawson and Scouting for Girls.

JLS, whose first two singles reached number one, will be playing the Free Radio Live event for the second successive year and are expected to play their new release 'Hottest girl in the world.'

McFly are also set to showcase a new single 'Love is easy' which will be released with their greatest hits album 'Memory lane: the best of McFly' next month.

Another confirmed booking is Leona Lewis who since winning the X-Factor in 2006 has become a global superstar with her latest UK release 'Trouble' reaching number 7.

Fellow X-Factor contestant Amelia Lily and London three-piece Stooshe complete the female artists announced on the bill so far.

More acts are set to be announced in the coming weeks but tickets are already on sale from www.theticketfactory.com.
