BRIT Awards 2024: Air date, performances, hosts and how to watch
Another big night in music is coming!
Tonight's the night - The 2024 BRIT Awards are about to take place, with the winners of the prestigious prizes set to be announced at a ceremony in London.
A number of the winners have already been announced, including RAYE, who is taking home the Songwriter of the Year Award, but it's still all up in the air when it comes to most of the categories.
RAYE said that she was “so honoured and blown away” to receive the Songwriter prize, which was first introduced in 2022 and has previously been won by Ed Sheeran and British record producer Kid Harpoon.
It's been a big year for RAYE at the BRITS, with the star also breaking the record for the highest number of nominations by a single artist in any one year, with nods in seven categories.
Alongside RAYE, the full list of nominees this year includes stars such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Lewis Capaldi, Lana Del Rey, Blur and Blink-182.
As is the case every year, there will also be a host of performances throughout the ceremony, including one by pop icon Kylie Minogue.

Who designed the BRIT Awards 2024 trophy?
It was announced last year that British visual artist Rachel Jones had designed this year's BRIT Awards trophy.
Speaking of being asked to design the prize, Jones said: "There's such a major legacy around the position of being asked to design the award, so it was a huge honour to be chosen for this year.
"Designing the award is especially exciting because people will be able to see my interest in working with other mediums.
"I don't want to be known as just a 'painter', and having collaborated recently with a composer and a poet on my opera [Joseph Howard and Victoria Adukwei for Hey, Maudie], I'm finally starting to enter different spaces and develop new perspectives on my work.
"It's really incredible that this is part of that journey."

International superstar Kylie Minogue will be awarded the BRITs Global Icon Award at this year's ceremony.
She said: "I am beyond thrilled to be honoured with the Global Icon Award and to be joining a roll call of such incredible artists.
"The UK has always been a home from home, so the BRITs have a very special place in my heart.
"I have some amazing memories from the awards over the years, and I can't wait to be back on the BRITs stage. See you at The O2!"
The BRIT Awards will air on Saturday 2nd March on ITV1 and ITVX at 8:30pm.
