The BRIT Awards are on their way back and there's big news ahead of next year's music extravaganza. The event, held live from The O2 Arena, will be broadcast on Saturday 11th February. Yep, a Saturday. The first time it's EVER been held over the weekend, marking a 'milestone moment'.
The BRIT Awards 2023 with Mastercard has confirmed it will air exclusively on ITV and ITVX, and will 'showcase the best, most diverse British talent'.
“The BRITs is the biggest night of the year for the UK music industry, and we want as many eyes on it as possible as we showcase the best and most diverse British talent. Moving the show to a Saturday will breathe new life into the iconic ceremony, while also introducing a new and more engaged audience," said Chair of the BRIT Committee for 2023, Damian Christian.
Last year's event boasted performances from Adele, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz, Dave, Liam Gallagher and Sam Fender, with Adele winning big and taking home three awards including Album Of The Year for her fourth LP 30.
Other winners included Little Simz (Best New Artist) and Wolf Alice who won Best Group. New gender-neutral categories were introduced after scrapping Best Male and Female to include a broader, more inclusive group of nominees.
The epic evening of live music and entertainment also helps raise money for The BRIT Trust 'who distribute funds to charities that promote education and well-being through music, including The BRIT School and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy'.
This year's ceremony was hosted by Mo Gilligan, but the 2023 presenter is yet to be announced.
We can't wait.
