BRIT Awards 2025 nominations: Full list of nominees as Charli XCX leads the pack

As an added bonus, a number of current and former nominees will be taking to the stage throughout the night to offer live renditions of their hits, as is tradition for the ambitious ceremony.

Most recently, Ezra Collective and Jorja Smith have been added to the billing, joining the likes of JADE, Lola Young, Myles Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Teddy Swims and The Last Dinner Party, who will also be taking to the stage.

On returning for his fifth BRITs ceremony, Whitehall commented: "They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that is absolutely the case with The BRIT Awards – it is my favourite night of the year, and I am delighted to be invited back to host in 2025."
