Lady Gaga has revealed she will open this year's iTunes festival, performing a free gig for fans in London on 1 September 2013 - and claims the gig will be made up of nothing but new material.
The star has promised she will play nothing but new music during her headline slot, pulling tracks from her upcoming ARTPOP album release instead of digging to her back catalogue to perform the hits.
The star announced her appearance on Twitter. See her tweet below.
