Christina Aguilera is to make her first appearance in the UK since she became a mother.

The multi-award winning singer - who gave birth to son Max in January - will headline THISDAY's Africa Rising Festival London's Royal Albert Hall on October 14.

The festival - organised by African daily newspaper THISDAY - combines fashion and music shows in a bid to raise awareness for African issues by finding "sustainable solutions" rather than by simply identifying the problems facing the continent.

It has already toured through Nigeria and Washington in the US, where Jay-Z was the headline act, and London will be its final destination.

Seal will also perform at the London show, along with Senegalese singer and percussionist, Youssou N'Dour.

Africa Rising will also feature stunning catwalk shows from top African and international designers, including celebrity jeweller Chris Aire and tailor to the stars Ozwald Boetang. These shows will feature supermodels Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Tyson Beckford, Oluchi and Liya Kebede.

Nduka Obaigbena, editor-in-chief of THISDAY said: "Right now the international community seems to be dealing with the symptoms not the problems of Africa. The symptoms are poverty and disease, but the problem is lack of social and physical infrastructure."
