Aguilera opening 'Thisday Africa Rising Fest'

London (ANI): Popstar Christina Aguilera is all set to light up Britain with her first major performance since the birth of her baby, Max. The 'Mercy on Me' hitmaker will be heading to London for her performance in the Thisday Africa Rising Festival.

Aguilera will be opening the star-studded event with her extraordinary performance, reports The Sun. The event is first of its kind as it aims at raising awareness for African issues by finding "sustainable solutions" instead of just identifying the "problems" facing the continent.

The event will also feature artists like Seal, Ozwald Boateng and models like Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford and Alek Wek.
