The 'Single Ladies' hitmaker is set to appear at the annual ceremony on February 20, days after she makes her comeback at the Super Bowl XLVII half time show in the US, reported Sun online.

"Beyonce coming to The BRITs is a huge coup for organisers. She's among the best live pop acts on the planet and will have brand new material to play for the audience," a source said.

"The last time she played at The BRITs, nine years ago, was at the start of her solo career, singing 'Crazy In Love'. So it's apt that she's back this year," the source added.

Knowles released her last album, '4' in 2011 but was recently seen back in the studio with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, sparking rumours that they have recorded a new track together.
