The Brit nominated pop superstar Pixie Lott is to star in Stoke-on-Trent’s 2011Live one-day musical festival later this month.

The million-album selling singer has been confirmed as a headline act for the July 16 concert in Hanley Park, joining Tinchy Stryder, Nicola Roberts and The Wanted on the top-class line-up.

Organisers announced the London-born sensation, adding her to a final gig list that will see 14 bands and artists playing to a crowd of thousands in an eight hour show.

It is the first time Pixie will have played in Stoke-on-Trent and she cannot wait.

“I am really excited to be playing at 2011Live. I have not played in Stoke-on-Trent so I am really looking forward to coming to the city and getting on that stage in front of thousands and thousands of people. I know 2010Live was a great success and I know this year’s gig will be aswell. I can’t wait,” said Pixie.

The multi-talented 20-year-old, who also dances and acts and has her own clothing line, released her debut album, Turn It Up, in 2009 and it has since sold over one million copies in the Uk alone. She has received three Brit nominations, has won an MTV award and sold over two and half million singles, two of which – ‘Mama Do’ and ‘Boys and Girls’ – were number ones.

She has also appeared as a guest judge on the X-Factor.

Her new single, ‘All About Tonight,’ is set to be premiered next week, and her second album, also called ‘All About Tonight,’ will be released later this year.

2011Live organisers are delighted that they have secured Pixie Lott as a headline act for the Stoke-on-Trent summer concert.

Councillor Mohammed Pervez, Leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “I am pleased that an artist as successful and well-known as Pixie Lott is coming to Stoke-on-Trent. 2011Live is proving to be popular with both the artists and the fans and Pixie Lott joins an already fantastic line-up for what will be a great day in Hanley Park.”

Iain Fowler, Station Director at Signal One, added: “Everyone has worked very hard to bring 2011Live to the people of Stoke-on-Trent and announcing Pixie Lott is great for everyone connected with the concert. Everyone is now looking forward to a successful day. There will be thousands of people there and let’s hope the sun shines!”
