BBC: Beyonce is heading to London next month to perform at the 2013 Brit Awards.

The US singer’s been added to the line-up for February 20th, which already includes Mumford and Sons, Muse and One Direction.

Beyonce has been working on her fifth solo album but also recently unveiled a new track, Nuclear, with Destiny’s Child.

Emeli Sande has the most Brit nominations, up for four awards including British Album of the Year.

Comeback

2013 looks set to be a busy return to work for Beyonce Knowles, after she took time out in 2012 following the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy, who recently turned one.

On 21 January 2012 Beyonce will perform the American national anthem at Barack Obama’s second presidential inauguration.

She’ll follow that in February by performing at the high profile half-time show at the US Super Bowl.

Then later in February Beyonce will release a documentary film about herself called Life is But a Dream.
