The Brit Awards are back as one of the first mass events to be held in the UK since the start of the pandemic. Taking place this evening, May 11th, at the O2 Arena and hosted by Jack Whitehall, it will be the first major in-person live music event in over a year in the United Kingdom. And the Brit organizers don’t want anyone to miss out. They are posting regular updates on Twitter to keep folk in the know as to how to watch Britain's biggest night in music.

The show will feature performances from plenty of stars including Dua Lipa. Chris Martin and the rest of the Coldplay team are the Brits' most nominated group with 28 nods in total. They are also the opening act for the award ceremony and rumor has it that they will be performing from the River Thames. Last week they premiered their new single Higher Power onboard the International Space Station, teaming up with French astronaut Thomas Pesquet to beam the track back to Earth via satellite.
This year Taylor Swift is set to receive the global icon award. The Brits' highest honor has only been awarded three times in the event's history, to Elton John, David Bowie, and Robbie Williams.
Swift is the first female artist to received the accolade “in recognition of her immense impact on music across the world and incredible repertoire and achievements to date".
