Jay-Z will perform at next February's Brit Awards, it's been reported.

The Jigga Man will be joined by a mystery guest for the performance which will see him do a medley of hits.

A Brits source told The Sun: "Jay-Z is confirmed as one of the key performers. In weak years there have been problems securing the big international artists.

“But knowing Jay-Z is there will help to secure other big acts now."

The 30th anniversary of The Brit Awards will take place at Earls Court, London on February 16, 2010.

Peter Kay has already been confirmed as the host while Robbie Williams will receive the outstanding contribution to music honour.
