Brit award nominated Paloma Faith forms part of the line up for this year's Hampton Court Palace Festival.

The Hackney-born singer soared to fame since her early days on the cabaret scene and has worked with music icons including Pharrell Williams and John Legend.

She has also been nominated for four Brit awards to date, including British female solo artist and best British album.

Speaking about joining the line up for this year's festival, Faith says: "I'm so thrilled to be playing at Hampton Court Palace Festival this June.

"I hear that the atmosphere is so intimate in the open air setting of base court - it will be the perfect setting for my summer concert."

Her first date, June 18, has already sold out, but tickets for the second date go on sale today.

For more information on the festival, see next week's Richmond and Twickenham Times.
