Who Is Performing at The Brit Awards 2023? Here's who will take to the stage, who's hosting, who to watch and the favourites to win awards

It's British music’s biggest night of the year and a starry roster of performers have been lined up to entertain between awards.

Comedian Mo Gilligan will be presenting this year's Brit Awards.

First held in 1977, the Brits have given us a host of memorable incidents, from Jarvis Cocker’s protest against Michael Jackson and Chumbawamba throwing a bucket of water over John Prescott, to Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack dress and the ‘interesting’ hosting style of Mick Fleetwood and Samantha Fox.

It’s all change this year, with a new spot on the television schedule to try and expand its audience and a big glitzy venue packed with celebs.

Last year, the first after the BPI scrapped gendered categories, Adele was the big winner – taking home Best Album for 30 and Best Single for Easy on Me.

This year will see a mix of familiar faces and newcomers battle for the prizes.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Who is hosting the Brit Awards?
