"Playing London is always special and playing the Roundhouse is going to be amazing," Minogue said. "It's such an iconic and intimate venue - I can't wait to put on a show for everyone."
Smith added: "Last year I was in the audience for Jake Bugg at the iTunes Festival. To think that I'm going to be doing it this year is so amazing."
Blondie said of their show: "We love playing London, we love playing the Roundhouse, and what's not to love about the iTunes Festival?
"This venue is in our blood, we first played there in 1978 and it was a breakthrough we never looked back from. You can feel the history there and we are always proud to return and make some more."
