"What's more, we're back at St John-at-Hackney Church, which inspired a truly electric atmosphere for fans and artists alike last year – there really is nothing more extraordinary than seeing big artists perform in such an intimate and beautiful venue.
"We have a week of incredible shows lined up, all in aid of Mencap and supporting people with a learning disability. I'll see you there!"
Three further acts have yet to be announced for shows on November 20, 22 and 25.
Pre-sale tickets for the Mencap Little Noise Sessions go on sale from October 5 to people who have signed up to the backstage area.
They will then go on general sale from October 8.
Coldplay's Chris Martin, Emeli Sandé and Ben Howard were among last year's performers.
