Brit Awards 2023 live stream: preview
The biggest night in the British music industry is almost here. The Brit Awards 2023 take place on Saturday 11th February at London's O2 Arena. Mo Gilligan is back in the host's tuxedo once again, with performances from some of the biggest names in the world of music.
Harry Styles, Cat Burns, Stormzy, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi, David Guetta and Kim Petras are just some of those who will grace the stage for a live performance on the night. Guetta is making his Brits debut, while Capaldi previously performed at the event in 2020.
Capaldi – who is nominated for Song of the Year – sounds excited to be included in the line-up. "Last time I played the Brit Awards I was so scared that I had a panic attack before I went on, and then got hammered afterwards," he said. "Looking forward to more of the same this year x."
Harry Styles and Wet Leg lead the pack with four nominations each. Both recently picked up Grammys – Wet Leg for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance; Styles for Album of the Year – and chances are they will again emerge victorious.
The two acts will go head to head in the battle for British Album of the Year, joined by Stormzy, The 1975 and Fred Again. Stormzy has three nominations overall, as do Cat Burns, Fred Again and The 1975.
It's guaranteed to be quite a spectacle. You can watch the event live on ITV at 8.30pm, with red carpet coverage on ITV2 from 7.30pm. It'll also be live streamed on ITVX. Not in the UK? Make sure to you know how to use a VPN to watch a Brit Awards live stream from anywhere.
