The ceremony is hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo, and will also feature a series of guest presenters throughout. 

Dua Lipa is set to open the show with Mastercard while Kylie Minogue will give the closing performance. 

Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris, Raye and Becky Hill with Chase & Status will also take to the stage. 

A record 98 artists are up for the new 2024 BRIT award, which has been designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.

Leading the pack is Raye, who has broken the record for garnering the most nominations in a single year, with seven in total.

The British singer, 26, is up for Album Of The Year for her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her third single, Escapism, is nominated for Song of the Year.

Raye is also included in the five strong Best New Artist category and will also compete as a nominee in the categories for R&B Act and Pop Act.

She has beat reigning champions Craig David, Robbie Williams and the Gorillaz who all had been nominated for six awards in previous years.

 The non-gendered Artist Of The Year Award sparked outrage last year, after it replaced individual Male and Female categories, but then failed to include any female or non-binary artists among its five nominations.

This year however, thanks in part to the category being doubled in size, there are six female nominees out of the 10, including Raye.

Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Lil Simz, Olivia Sims and Dua Lipa make up the female nominees, while Central Cee, Dave, J. Hus and Fred Again… are also nominated.

This year’s BRIT Awards will be live on ITV on March 2 at 8pm.
