Representing the international talent on the evening will be Christine and the Queens. The French artist, otherwise known as Héloïse Letissier, has been one of the most talked about artists of the year, making waves across the globe.
Speaking about the nominations launch show, BRITs Chairman Jason Iley said:
“Olly and Craig are two of the biggest British male artists out there with long and successful careers having both enjoyed Number One albums this year.
