Brit Awards 2024: Nominations in full and all the Scottish artists up for an award - including Young Fathers

The countdown to the biggest night of the year for British music is on.

Calvin Harris is one of four Scottish acts to be nominated for Brit Awards this year.

First held in 1977, when The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' won Best Album, the Brit Awards celebrate the best in music both at home and abroad.

The 2024 will be the 44th time the awards have been held and will take place at London's O2 Arena on Saturday, March 2.

For the first time the number of nominees in the British Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year awards have been increased from five to ten, while the British Pop/R&B Act category has been split into two awards - British Pop Act and British R&B Act.

The nominations are now released, with Raye breaking the record for most nominations with seven nods.

And there are plenty of Scottish artists up for awards too - here they are, along with the nominations in full.

What Scottish acts have been nominated?

Edinburgh-based Young Fathers have followed up their Mercury Music Prize nomination and Scottish Album of the Year Award win for fourth album 'Heavy Heavy' with three Brit nominations for Group of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Alternative/Rock Act.

Meanwhile chart-topping producer, singer and songwriter Calvin Harris, who grew up in Dumfries, also has a hattrick on nominations. He's up for Song of the Year for 'Miracle' - a collaboration with Ellie Goulding - as well as Best Dance Act and Best Pop Act.

Lewis Capaldi, who was born in Glasgow and grew up in West Lothian, has a single nomination, with 'Wish You The Best' up for Best Song.

And up-and-coming Edinburgh-born songwriter and producer Barry Can't Swim has earned his first Brit nomination for Best Dance Act after releasing his debut album 'When Will We Land' in the second half of 2023.
