By Will Stroude
Jessie J and Ed Sheeran are among the latest acts to be announced for the iTunes Festival in London next month (September).
The singers will perform at Camden’s iconic Roundhouse venue during the festival’s series of free one-off shows, joining previously announced acts including Sam Smith and Kylie Minogue.
Other acts to be announced today (August 26) for the 30-day series of gigs include Deadmau5, Placebo, Mary J Blige, Ben Howard, Hozier and Tony Bennett.
Acts previously confirmed to perform over the course of the festival’s 30-day run include Pharrell Williams, Blondie, Calvin Harris and more.
Jessie J recently unveiled the title and artwork for her upcoming third studio album Sweet Talker, which is set for release on October 13.
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran’s second LP X has just been knocked off the top spot on the UK’s Official Albums Chart after eight weeks by Britain’s Got Talent winners Collabro – a stint which saw him tie James Blunt’s Back to Bedlam for longest-running UK Number album by a British male solo artist.
