The band will join previously confirmed acts Duran Duran, Linkin Park and Rumer.

The iTunes festival will take place at London's Roundhouse in July.

"The Roundhouse is one of the most prestigious and memorable venues in London. White Lies have never had the pleasure of playing there before so we're excited to have our turn on that stage at the iTunes Festival."

"It's great to be following in the footsteps of some great bands who have previously played the iTunes Festival and we'll be doing everything we can to make it a memorable night," a statement from the band said.
