Katy B will switch on the Christmas lights at Westfield shopping centre in London on Friday (06.11.15).
The 'Turn The Music Louder' hitmaker will kick off the festive celebrations in Shepherd's Bush when she flicks the switch and performs five of her biggest hits at live music festival MUSIC CUBE, held in The Atrium over the weekend.
The event is free but fans will need to bag tickets through re-tweeting an announcement on Katy B's Twitter this week.
The 26-year-old star will perform alongside artists and bands from both major and independent labels and KISS FM UK DJs, in a custom-built soundproof glass cube, complete with LED surround, and fans will be tuned in through Sennheiser Momentum headphones.
Meanwhile, Grammy Award winner Foxes has been announced as the headline act for the electro-pop Saturday (07.11.15) performance and former 'X Factor' star Rebecca Ferguson will add a soul vibe to Sunday (08.11.15).
Joining them across the weekend will be Dionne Bromfield, Stooshe and Oritse.
Fiona Kyle, General Manager Events & Entertainment for Westfield UK & US urged fans to tune in online if they can't make it down.
She said: "We are delighted to bring MUSIC CUBE back to Westfield London where chart topping headliner Katy B will also switch on the Christmas Lights ... For those who can't make it down, look out for performances being streamed free online."

Skrillex has accused former mentor Deadmau5 of "bullying" him.
The EDM stars have become embroiled in a nasty Twitter spat after Deadmau5 panned the new single from Jack Ü - a production duo featuring Skrillex and Diplo.
Describing the single 'I Need Ü' which features Justin Bieber, Deadmau5 tweeted: "what the f**k is this s**t? (sic)".
But the 'Bangarang' hitmaker took offence to the comment and lashed out at him in a series of tweets, branding him the "worst label head ever".
He responded: "I'm forever grateful for the mau5's early support but the reality is sad. He's shriveling In his own pile of hatful
"I dont care bout ur personal career but the fact that u own ur own record label is sad. I feel sorry the artists you've signed.
"It's sad the people on your label have the worst label head ever aka you bro. (sic)"
However, Deadmau5 continued the argument by insisting it only takes "23 minutes" to make a radio hit with a "lil popstar".
He wrote: "tell you what. Lemme borrow the lil popstar for a week, mash together a radio hit in 23 minutes, and will be good label! Yay!
"In summary: 2 EDM sellouts b***hing about who's got a good label and or who's sad. Welcome to 2015. That's about all I'm getting outta this (sic)."
Continuing the argument, Skrillex added: "yes good night you sad old washed up a**hole.
"you can ignore bullying but at some point you have to stand up for yourself and your friends (sic)."

Wiley has been honoured with the inaugural Paving The Way award as a part of this year's MOBO Awards.
The Tower Hamlets-born grime rapper marked the honour by attending a special ceremony at his old school in Bow, east London where he was presented with a plaque.
Wiley said of winning: "I am honoured to be recognised in this way. MOBO have supported my music career from the very beginning and it's humbling to have this paving stone laid at one of the places which shaped me - Bow School. It's extra special as and my father also attended this school as a young lad. I hope it inspires all young people and encourage them to know that if I can do it, so can they!"
The commemorative stone, which contains lyrics from Wiley's song 'Bow E3', was installed to recognise his accomplishments within the world of music and to pave the way for future talent in the area.
The lyrics engraved read: "I'm so E3, The Whole of E3 Got So Much Talent I Hope You See".
The 36-year old star rose to fame with his work with grime crew Roll Deep, which also included world famous icons Dizzee Rascal and Tinchy Stryder.
And the founder of the MOBO Awards said she is "delighted" to introduce the new prize, which recognises rising stars.
Explaining it Kanya King, MBE CEO & founder of the MOBO Organisation said: "We are delighted to introduce the new 'Paving The Way' award, which celebrates the music pioneer's achievements and influences. Over the past 20 years, the MOBO Awards have been a celebration of emerging and established musical talent - who will now pave the way for the next generations. We are extremely proud to present Wiley with this award."
The 2015 MOBO Awards are set to take place on Wednesday November 4 at Leeds' First Direct Arena and will be broadcast live on ITV2 and later repeated in full on ITV.

The Stone Roses have prompted speculation they are getting back together.
The rockers last performed together in 2013 but have sparked rumours they are gearing up for something new after a series of posters featuring the band's lemon logo mysteriously appeared around Manchester, where they are from.
A shop keeper who's store features the posters told the Manchester Evening News newspaper he had been "sworn to secrecy about an announcement due in the next 24 hours."
The citrus fruit has appeared on their posters and album artwork previously and fans of the band have noticed the lemon posters come in sets of 16, leading some to speculate an announcement from them will come soon about news for 2016.
The band - featuring Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni - haven't released an album of original material since their 1994 record 'Second Coming' which followed 1989's eponymous release.
They originally split in 1996 but announced they were reforming in 2011 and then played a series of shows around the UK and Europe.
And a new firm with the four members as staff has been founded on Companies House suggesting they will be using it for their new ventures.
Gordon Smart, editor of The Scottish Sun newspaper, has also encouraged speculation hinting fans can expect an announcement this evening.
He tweeted: "Be poised tonight, but don't panic if delayed. It will be fairest of fair and all in favour of the real fan from what I hear #StoneRoses (sic)."

Jason Derulo is launching an aeroplane business.
The 'Want To Want Me' hitmaker was kicked off a flight in August after a confrontation between his security staff and the plane's crew and was left so disappointed by the experience he wants "the average person" to be able to hire private jets so they don't face similar problems.
He explained to The Sun newspaper: "We went to the gate and there were some ruckuses starting. My security team was taking me there and the ticket clerk was like, 'Hey, you can't be here.'
"About five minutes later they had the police come to escort us off the plane. It was rough.
"So I'm starting a company that charters jets affordable to the average person."
The 26-year-old singer - who is the first act to be announced for Capital's Jingle Bell Ball with Coca-Cola at The O2 in London on December 5 - blamed the firm for being unaccommodating following the incident but Southwest Airlines insisted they had received complaints about his behaviour.
They said at the time: "According to our employees, the group refused to follow boarding procedures. Initial reports indicate that several customers complained about the group's behaviour. Our crew, responsible for the safety and comfort of all customers on board, attempted to diffuse the situation; ultimately, local authorities were called and the decision was made to deny boarding to the group. The group sought alternate transportation and their tickets were refunded."

Keith Richards is planning to record a new Rolling Stones album next year.
The 'Satisfaction' rockers haven't released an album of new material since 2005's 'A Bigger Bang' but Keith is hoping that will change by getting them in the studio in April.
After admitting the band had a "little chat" about recording new music when they recently met up, the 71-year-old rocker insisted it should happen because they're better musicians now than when they were younger.
He said: "These guys aren't getting any younger, but at the same time, they're getting better.
"I'd love to shove them in the studio in April, hot off the road."
The band - which also features Sir Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood in its current line-up - toured the US last year and will launch a major exhibition based on their years of fame titled 'Exhibitionism' next year.
And although he keeps active, Keith admitted he's surprised he's still going strong.
He said: "It's my turn for growing old. I never thought I'd get this far.
"Now, I have to think about this and wonder what to do with it. I don't know, man."
In September, Keith put out his third solo album 'Crosseyed Heart' which was his first release on his own in 23 years.

Taylor Swift is being sued for £27 million over 'Shake It Off'.
The 25-year-old singer released the hit track last year but R&B artist Jesse Braham claims she took the lyrics from his 2013 song 'Haters Gone Hate'.
His song features the lyrics: "Haters gone hater, playas gone play... Watch out for them fakers, they'll fake you everyday."
And he claims the words were lifted and used in Taylor's song, in which she sings: "Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play/ And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate," and "And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake."
According to New York Daily News, he is now embarking on a lawsuit worth $42 million and wants to be recognised on the track.
He said: "At first I was going to let it go, but this song is my song all the way.
"Her hook is the same hook as mine. If I didn't write the song 'Haters Gone Hate', there wouldn't be a song called 'Shake It Off'."
'Shake It Off' - which was the lead single from her multi-million selling album '1989' - was written by songwriters Max Martin and Shellback along with Taylor, who claims it's about being scrutinised by the public.
She previously explained: "I've had every part of my life dissected - my choices, my actions, my words, my body, my style and my music. When you live your life under that kind of scrutiny, you can either let it break you or you can get really good at dodging punches. Then when one lands, you know how to deal with it. And I guess the way that I deal with it, is to shake it off."

Rihanna is really "worried" about her new album.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker - whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty - is planning to tweak her forthcoming collection entitled 'Anti' - her first in three years - because she's "uncomfortable and unhappy" with the tracks.
Rihanna's father Ronald, who has claimed he's heard 26 song she's recorded for the album, said: "Robyn is not happy with the new album. She's not comfortable with it.
"When she went over the songs she found all these little things she wanted to change and was worried about it. It's a long process and isn't easy.
"It's been three years now since her last album and she wants this to blow everything else away, no competition, because she's calling it her 'first album.' "
'Anti' was initially planned for release by the end of the year but it looks like the 27-year-old singer is hoping to push it back in order to create more content.
He added: "She has some things she likes but wants something more. To her it's not ready ... She's still looking for fresh material and has the energy for it."
And it seems Rihanna - who has previously collaborated with Drake, Jay Z, Kanye West and Eminem - hasn't teamed up with many other artists this time around either.
Ronald explained to The Sun newspaper: "A lot of times she has someone else singing with her and the collaborations always do good but this time she has a lot by herself.
"And you don't miss the other singers as she's so good."
