Tuesday, July 07, 2009, 07:00

Channel Four bosses have added Sophie Ellis- Bextor, Paloma Faith and Amelle from the Sugababes to the T4 On The Beach Party line-up.

The event, which is only two weeks away, on 19 July, takes places on the sandy shores of Weston-super-Mare for the sixth year running.

It normally boosts the local economy to the tune of around £3million as every hotel and B&B gets filled and this year will be no exception.

T4 says the event will be Sophie's biggest gig since giving birth less than five months ago, performing to a crowd of 40,000 people.

Meanwhile, Amelle is making a reappearance having performed with the Sugababes last year, but this time around she is looking to see if a solo career is on the horizon.

She will perform alongside Tinchy Stryder.

Paloma Faith also continues her rise to the top of the music circuit as she joins the line-up.

All three will be joining a host of other names already confirmed to perform at the live gig.

They are The Saturdays, Dizzee Rascal, Alesha Dixon, Metro Station, Calvin Harris, The Noisettes, Will Young, Taio Cruz , N-Dubz and Tinchy Stryder. They will also be joined by the The Enemy, The Gossip, JLS, Little Boots, Tommy Reilly, The Maccabees, Basement Jaxx, Florence & The Machine, Diversity, Daniel Merri- weather, Ironik ft. Chipmunk, Newham Generals, Shontelle, Frankmusik, Fightstar, Hockey, and Killa Kela.

T4 presenters Steve Jones, Miquita Oliver and Rick Edwards will be hosting the party this year.

There will be over seven hours of coverage of the event across Channel 4 and 4Music, all kicking off at 2pm.
