Who Is Performing at the Brit Awards?

Carpenter’s awards show performances are always a treat. Most recently, she dazzled viewers with a sparkly, over-the-top medley of her hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”
Shaboozey, Teddy Swims, Jade Thirlwall, Lola Young, and The Last Dinner Party are also among today’s performers.
Charli XCX Leads Nominations; The Cure and the Beatles Also Up For Awards
Coming off a zeitgeist-defining moment with last summer’s Brat, Charli XCX leads the pack with five nods at this year’s Brit Awards, including one for album of the year. The “Guess” singer, 32, has already picked up the songwriter of the year award ahead of today’s ceremony.
Additionally, the Beatles could win Song of the Year for the career-capping “Now And Then.” Written and sung by John Lennon in the late 1970s, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr finished the song in 2023, adding overdubs and guitar tracks from George Harrison.
Another iconic British band, The Cure, also found themselves among the nominees for the first time in awhile. The post-punk legends scored an Album of the Year nod for Songs of a Lost World, their first new material in 16 years.
