Shaboozey, who will take on Teddy in the same category with his track, A Bar Song (Tipsy), said: 'I’m beyond grateful and humbled to not only be nominated for a BRIT Award but to take the stage.

More acts are set to be announced in the lead-up to the ceremony, which will be broadcast on ITV and ITVX. Meanwhile, while the first performer have been confirmed, one person who won't be taking to the stage is Charlie XCX. The 360 hitmaker, 32, is said to have been in talks to perform at the glitzy bash but ultimately won't be taking to the stage. Charli is also due to perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, and according to The Sun, a source said doing both ceremonies would have been 'added pressure'.
Comedian Jack Whitehall will once again be on hand to oversee the proceedings, making it his fifth time presenting the awards. While Harriet Rose and Munya Chawawa will present The BRITs 2025: The Warm-Up on ITV2 and ITVX on Thursday 27 February from 9pm. Pop singer Charli XCX leads the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nods, closely followed by Dua Lipa who has been recognised in four categories.
The artist, 32, made history when her No1 album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last summer along with the colour slime green as millions of fans showed their support by posting clips of Charli's Apple Dance on TikTok. And now her Brat summer lives on as Charli has received nominations in five prestigious categories including Song Of The Year for Guess ft. Billie Eilish, Artist Of The Year, Dance Act, Pop Act, and the sought-after Album Of The Year.
