Coldplay will headline a charity gig on December 19th.
Coldplay have been lined up to play a charity event later in the month, it has been revealed.
The band will headline Mencap's Big Noise Session on December 19th, with the all the proceeds from the show going towards the charity's fundraising efforts.
Taking place at Exeter Castle, the event will also feature performances from Lily Allen and La Roux.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: "We're proud to support Mencap and, for me, it's exciting to play my hometown. We haven't played there since 2000. It's going to be really, really special."
The gig follows last month's Little Noise Session, which took place at London's Union Chapel in Islington and starred David Gray, Alexandra Burke, Mika and Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner.
Last month, La Roux frontwoman Elly Jackson told BBC 6 Music that the band will return to the studio in the next few weeks to work on their second album.
