Special guests will include Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon performing an acoustic set all in aid of War Child, and BBC Sound of 2012 act Dry The River, with more acts to be announced.
The annual event will take place at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, two nights before the BRIT Awards on Saturday 19th February.
"War Child does amazing music events for such a great cause," said Ed Sheeran "to be asked to play this year is an absolute honour."
The War Child and O2 annual BRIT Awards party returns to the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire having raised over £500,000 in the last three years. All ticket proceeds will go to aid War Child's work with children in war zones across the world.
Ben Knowles, Music Director of War Child, said, "War Child's annual BRIT Awards show has become a unique and important date in the music calendar, with some of the biggest and best musical talent coming together to support War Child.
"We believe music can make a difference, it can change lives. This year's amazing line-up will prove that! It will make for a stunning, unforgettable night and one that will raise money to help thousands of children affected by war. We're very grateful to all the acts and O2 for their fantastic support."
Ticket for the show will be priced at £40, and will go on general sale at 9am on Saturday 4th February, and eGigs will have links to buy them then.
