It has been confirmed that 'Black Magic' girl group Little Mix will support One Direction at the upcoming Apple Music Festival (previously known as the iTunes Festival) this September. 

Both bands will take the stage at London's Roundhouse venue in Camden on September 22. Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, spoke about the rebranded event in a statement:

"We wanted to do something really special for music fans this year. The Apple Music Festival is a greatest hits set of ten unbelievable nights featuring some of the best performers on the planet appearing live and interacting directly with their fans on Connect and Beats 1."

Little Mix, meanwhile, will celebrate their fourth anniversary together this afternoon with a livestream fan event thanks to NBC Universal and AOL.com. Suzanne Lindbergh, SVP of Original Programming for AOL.com, issued a statement on the exciting news and said:
