The big night for the British music industry. The Brit Awards is a yearly awards ceremony that celebrates and acknowledges the talent, creativity, and diversity of the UK music industry. A mixture of established acts and new performers, many of whom were unknown the previous year, perform live and awards are presented in a variety of categories intended to represent the spectrum of musical genres. A look back at award winners shows an impressive list. The O2 Arena in London is the venue with a large amount of the seating given over to industry figures. Limited tickets are available to the general public. Popular comedian Jack Whitehall returns as presenter host for the third year.
