One Direction, Disclosure and Florence + The Machine are among the headliners who will play at the Apple Music Festival in London in September.
Pharrell Williams has also been confirmed for the event which will take place over 10 days.
"It'll be great to be back in London and we can't wait to perform for our fans in the Roundhouse," says Niall Horan of One Direction.
There are more acts yet to be announced.
The Weeknd will play a headline slot during the festival
Take That, The Chemical Brothers and The Weeknd are also among the headline acts on the line-up.
American soul singer Leon Bridges will open for Pharrell, while James Bay will support Florence + The Machine.
The singer said: "To be able to say I get to play there too is a really big deal for me. I can't wait for this show."
In previous years the event has been known as the iTunes Festival but Apple has rebranded it in light of its new online music streaming service.
"We wanted to do something really special for music fans this year," said Eddy Cue, a senior vice president at the company.
Apple will broadcast the performances to its users around the world for free.

"It's also the day our album's released so that makes it extra special."
UK residents can apply to win tickets to the concerts, which take place from 19 to 28 September.
Previous performers at the iTunes Festival, which ran for eight years, include Adele, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry.

September 20 Take That
September 22 One Direction + Little Mix
September 23 The Weeknd
