This year’s Brit awards will be held at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester on Saturday, February 28, marking the ceremony’s 46th year, as it takes place for the first time outside of London.
Hosted for the sixth year by Jack Whitehall, the show will feature key performances from Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, Wolf Alice, ROSALIA and Mark Ronson.
Olivia Dean and Lola Young are stars of the show with five nominations each, swiftly followed by Sam Fender with four nominations.
Mark Ronson, who has previously received nine Grammy awards, an Academy award and previous Brit awards, will be honoured the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Music Award for his influence as an artist and producer following a two-decade-long career.
The winners will take home a trophy designed by Matthew Williamson featuring an amber resin base representing Manchester’s worker bee symbol.
