Disclosure and Lorde will perform together at this year's Brit Awards.

The announcement follows rumours about the collaboration after an image appeared online of the Royals singer covered by the face logo used by the British electronic duo.

The two acts have five Brit nominations between them.

They join previously confirmed acts including Arctic Monkeys, Bruno Mars and Pharrell Williams on the bill for the event.

Along with Bastille, Disclosure have been shortlisted for the most awards at this year's Brits, having been named in four categories.

The duo are up for British breakthrough act, British group, British single for White Noise featuring AlunaGeorge and British album of the year for their Mercury Prize-nominated debut Settle.

Voting for the British breakthrough act category, which also includes Bastille, Laura Mvula, London Grammar and Tom Odell, is open now.

Disclosure, made up of brothers Guy and Howard Laurence, have also worked with Jessie Ware, Sam Smith, Nile Rodgers and last week they revealed that Mary J Blige had recorded a version of F For You.

Pharrell Williams will also perform at the award ceremony

Lorde is up against Pink, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae and Katy Perry, who is also performing at the ceremony, for international female solo artist.

The 17-year-old from New Zealand picked up two prizes at this year's Grammy Awards after her track Royals was named song of the year and best solo pop performance.

The 2014 Brit Awards will be hosted by James Corden for the fifth and final time at London's O2 Arena on 19 February.
