Les Amazones d’Afrique said: "It is an honour to be asked to headline the African Soul Rebels tour this October, which will give us the biggest platform we’ve had so far in the UK to share our music.
"Each show we perform is an opportunity for us to inspire and to energise people with the messages and testimonies contained in our songs in support of gender equality, female empowerment and calling out violence towards women and girls.
"It means so much for us to do this in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the country."
Malawian musician Gasper Nali and Cardiff-based balafon player N’famady Kouyaté will also perform.
Tickets are £34.50, or £16 for under-25s and full-time students.
