She is a fantastic presenter and broadcaster, and the perfect choice for our new prime-time Saturday slot. The line up is a true reflection of the best of British music right now and I am excited to see the performances as we announce the nominations for next year’s BRITs.”
The world’s biggest girl band, Little Mix have achieved five UK Top Ten albums and 13 Top Ten singles, making them one of the UK’s biggest selling girl bands of all time. Winning Best British Single at the 2017 BRITs for ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ where they also performed, they recently released their fifth studio album LM5 which included the hit single ‘Woman Like Me’ featuring Nicki Minaj.
George Ezra has had a phenomenal year; scoring his first chart topping single in the UK, Ireland and Australia with ‘Shotgun’, taken from his second studio album Staying at Tamara’s which followed his debut Wanted on Voyage to #1 in the UK Album Charts, and becoming the best selling artist album of 2018. A four-time BRIT nominee, he launched his successful George Ezra & Friends podcast series earlier this year with guests including Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Lily Allen and Niall Horan all taking part over the past few months.
London rapper Not3s and 2018 BRITs Critics’ Choice nominee Mabel are two of the hottest young music acts in the UK right now, with two Top 20 single collaborations: the 2017 Mabel remix of Not3s’ ‘My Lover’, and Mabel ft Not3s’ ‘Fine Line’ from this year.
The BRIT Awards 2019 with Mastercard takes place on Wednesday 20th February at The O2 Arena, London, exclusively broadcast on ITV and hosted by Jack Whitehall. The winners’ awards have been designed by acclaimed architect Sir David Adjaye OBE.
