After huge speculation, organisers have revealed the list of performers who will take to the stage from their stunning lineup of nominees.
This includes the first solo Brit Award performance from Little Mix legend Jade Thirlwall after her huge debut solo success.
Follow along with Metro’s Brit Award 2025 Live Blog as we bring you all the latest.
Last year saw Raye, Dua Lipa and none other than Kylie Minogue perform with viewers treated to a medley of her biggest songs from the Padam Padam legend.
This year, both Raye and Dua are nominated again and will head to London’s O2 Arena this evening for a night of teary speeches and stellar performances.
However, neither singer is on the lineup for 2025, instead, music lovers will be treated to a performances from some of the biggest names of the year including Sabrina Carpenter.
The Espresso hitmaker will open the evening, making her Brits debut, and will also scoop the global success award on the night.
While Charli XCX will be this year’s songwriter of the year with her longterm collaborator AG Cook named Brit’s producer of the year, the Brat queen will not be performing.
Instead, the evening’s line up will include People Watching hitmaker Sam Fender, Jade, Jorja Smith, Messy hitmaker Lola Young, Teddy Swims, rising star winner Myles Smith and The Last Dinner Party.
This evening marks the first time former Little Mix star Jade takes to the stage without her bandmates.
Little Mix have performed at the show across numerous years and won best group as recently as 2021.
Now the group is on hiatus and Jade’s debut solo record Angel of My Dreams has been nominated for song of the year as well as a pop act nod.
‘I’ve honestly manifested every day since the release of Angel Of My Dreams to perform at the BRIT Awards,’ she said.
Jade confessed she even cried when she found out, adding: ‘I can’t wait to bring a huge, chaotic pop moment to the BRITs stage!’
‘I’m so excited to be performing at the BRITs! What an honour, I love you so much,’ Lose Control hitmaker Teddy Swims said.
Rising star Myles said: ‘Performing at the BRITs is such an incredible honour, and it feels surreal to even say it out loud. To think I was sitting at home watching it last year, and now I’m performing the very next year… it’s just insane. Grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to step onto that stage.’
‘Grateful’ was also how A Bar Song (Tipsy) hitmaker Shaboozey was feeling as he said he was ‘beyond humbled to not only be nominated for a BRIT Award but to take the stage.’
He continued: ‘This past year has been huge for me with my records getting love from all over the world and now I can celebrate with my friends and fans in London.’
Last year’s rising star winners The Last Dinner Party added that they were ‘so excited’ to return to the Brits this year after seeing the ‘scale and spectacle’ in 2024.
Charli XCX and The Beatles as one of the many big names who have landed nominations at the prestigious awards show.
Fans had expected a performance from Charli given the fact she is leading the nominations with five nods, including the big awards like song, artist and album.
While she might not be on stage to belt out her hit tracks, it’s likely the star will appear to pick up at least a few awards for cultural phenomenon Brat.
Later this year, Charli will headline Barcelona’s Primavera Sound Festival along with Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter in a pop dream.
2025 will also see her tour around the US as well as headlining Manchester’s Parklife — alongside 50 Cent — and brand new London festival Lido.
As for the Brit Awards, Charli is followed closely by Dua Lipa, Ezra Collective and The Last Dinner Party who have four nominations each.
A surprise nod came for The Beatles for the first time since 1982 thanks to their song Now and Then which features vocals from John Lennon.
While all eyes are on the nominees, viewers will see another familiar face with Jack Whitehall returning to the stage this year.
This will be the fifth time he has hosted the music awards show but requested that fans ‘don’t call it a comeback’.
The Brit Awards will be broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX at 8:15pm GMT from The O2, with viewers outside the UK able to watch on YouTube from 9pm GMT.
