The band is appearing at Concorde 2 on February 19 as the opening act for the Brit Week series, raising money for War Child.
Other acts including indie band Keane and rapper Aitch will play at various venues around the country.
The senior music manager at War Child, Clare Sanders Wright, said: “I am so excited to announce the line-up for Brits Week 2024 and thankful to all of the brilliant artists donating their time to raise vital funds in aid of War Child.
“The past year is one that we will never, ever forget. Children have paid with their homes and their lives for wars they didn’t start.
“And then, there are the children who don’t make the headlines – children who might be completely forgotten. But there is hope. War Child help children put the pieces back together.
“The money raised from Brits Week 2024 will help War Child keep children safe. Whether it’s mental health first aid, food, or shelter, War Child work in the hardest-to-reach places to ensure that children and their families have hope for a brighter future.
“We are so grateful to the artists and our partners for supporting Brits Week 24. Thank you.”
