All eyes and ears are on the Brit Awards 2025, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, and many others in London this Saturday evening, as their 45th edition, presented by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), at the O2 Arena is honoring the best in British and international music. Hosting the ceremony is Jack Whitehall, who met Squid Game Soldiers, aka Triangles, in a video intro and joked about being a Taylor Swift fan.
The ceremony then opened musically with Sabriana Carpeter taking to the stage.
Charli XCX entered the evening leading the nominations with five, including for British album of the year, song of the year and British artist of the year. Dua Lipa, The Last Dinner Party and Ezra Collective received four nominations each.
The Beatles are also among the nominees, being in the running for song of the year with their “final song” “Now and Then.” It is their first nomination since 1983 where they were celebrated at the Brit Awards with the Outstanding Contribution to Music honor.
The Cure is also up for the band’s first Brit Award since 1993. The Cure received three nominations thanks to Songs of a Lost World, their first album in 16 years.
