- The BRIT Awards are the biggest night in UK music
- And so it’s no surprise that the ceremony has bagged some of the world’s most in-demand artists to perform on the big night
- From Sabrina Carpenter to Teddy Swims, here are all the acts who are performing at the 2025 BRITs
The BRIT Awards are one of the biggest nights in UK music.
Held at London’s O2 Arena, a panel of judges – and the British public – will vote for their favorite acts from across the country.
However, all is not lost for artists around the globe – as the likes of Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish and Beyoncé are all battling it out for the International Artist and International Song of the Year gongs.
As with the Grammys, the night will be littered with performances from some of our favorite artists.
But who will be taking to the stage at the 2025 Brit Awards? Read on to find out more.
Sabrina Carpenter
Fresh off the back of her two Grammy award wins, Sabrina Carpenter is perhaps the most-anticipated artist to be performing on the night.
Nominated for the International Artist and International Song of the Year award for Espresso, Carpenter will also be the recipient of the prestigious Global Success award – being the first international artist to do so.
Teddy Swims
Rising to prominence in 2023, Teddy Swims’s single Lose Control peaked within the top ten on the charts in several countries and topped the Billboard Hot 100 the next year.
While he missed out on the Best New Artist award at the Grammys, Swims is hoping to take home the International Song of the Year award for his track, Lose Control.
Shaboozey
Shaboozey narrowly missed out on five Grammy awards at the ceremony earlier this month.
Like Carpenter and Swims, his track A Bar Song (Tipsy) is also up for International Song of the Year award at the BRITs.
JADE
While you may recognize her as part of the girl group Little Mix, Jade Thirlwall is now going by the stage name, JADE.
While the band may have sold 60 million records in their 11 year career – as well as being the first girl group in 41 years to win the British Group award at the 2021 BRITs – JADE herself is up for the Song of the Year and Best Pop Act gongs on the night, which are among her first as a solo artist.
Sam Fender
Sam Fender is no stranger to the BRIT Awards.
In 2019, he was the recipient of the Critics’ Choice Award, and his debut album, Hypersonic Missiles, entered the UK Albums Chart at number one that same year.
In 2022, Fender won the BRIT Award for British Rock/Alternative Act – a move which he hopes to replicate this year, alongside an Artist of the Year win.
Lola Young
Not only is Lola Young’s song, Messy, currently topping the UK singles chart and going viral on TikTok, the singer also has a special connection to the awards – as she is an alumna of the BRIT School.
Young is up for Best Pop Act on the night.
Myles Smith
Myles Smith may be new to the awards, but that hasn’t stopped him from being nominated in several categories.
Hoping to score the Best New Artist award, Smith is also in the categories for Best Pop Act and Song of the Year, for his track, Stargazing.
The Last Dinner Party
The Last Dinner Party will also be taking to the stage on the night – and are also aiming high in the awards categories.
While the group may be up for Best New Artist, they are also in the running to bag Group of the Year, Best Alternative/Rock Act – and the prestigious Album of the Year award.
Ezra Collective and Jorja Smith
In a late addition to the schedule, Ezra Collective will also be performing with their special guest, Jorja Smith.
Winning the Mercury Prize back in 2023, Ezra Collective are one of the most nominated artists at this year’s event, with a chance to win one of the coveted awards in four categories.
Smith won the British Female Solo Artist award at the BRITs back in 2019.
Who will not be performing at the Brit Awards?
It was rumored that boyband One Direction would reform in a tribute to Liam Payne, who died aged just 31 last year.
Payne tragically passed away in October, after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
While there will be a celebration of Payne’s life and career at the ceremony, his former One Direction bandmates – Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson – will not perform together as part of it.
