Rihanna and Coldplay are set to perform together at The BRIT Awards 2012.

Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin will sing Princess of China with Rihanna at The O2 arena in London next February.

The track appears on Coldplay's new album Mylo Xyloto.

It will be the first time the single has been performed live.

"Coldplay are really looking forward to performing Princess of China with Rihanna already," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "BRITs bosses set their sights on getting them on stage together early doors. They are two of the biggest acts around right now."

Other big British stars are also set to perform.

Adele is scheduled to sing after recovering from her throat surgery.

Noel Gallagher will also be on stage. It will be his first performance without his Oasis bandmates.

The event is one of the biggest music celebrations in the UK and the team behind the show are ensuring the evening is filled with as many live acts as possible.

Not all the guest stars have been confirmed yet. More names will be added to the bill when the nominees are announced at the start of next year.

"We are still confirming the line-up, which will be announced with the nominations in January," the source revealed.

"We are working to make it the best show yet, with the biggest names in music performing."
