The singer who shot into the charts after BBC's Fame Academy in 2002 will headline the celebrations in Plymouth on November 18.
Lemar will kick off the Plymouth Winter Festival with songs from his new album as well as old hits.
The London-born soul singer has sold more than two million albums and has won two BRITs and three MOBO awards.
The festive fun starts at 4pm with music and entertainment on the Heart Radio stage at the top of Cornwall Street.
The Urban X Dancers, Roo Mckeller, Zumba Zone and the Beatbreakers will be there to get the crowds warmed up before Lemar takes to the stage at 6pm.
