Singer Charli XCX won't be performing at this year’s BRIT Awards on March 1 at the O2 Arena in London. The Apple and 360 hitmaker won't be one of the musical guests at the televised awards event because she is also due to appear onstage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday 2 February in Los Angeles, according to a source.
The source said: "She's decided it didn't feel right and she doesn't want the added pressure. She has planned a major performance at the Grammys and the thought of doing the same again at the Brits felt like it was too much.". Charli is still expected to attend the BRITs, but won’t take to the stage, the source claimed to The Sun. She is nominated in five categories including Song of the Year for Guess ft. Billie Eilish, Artist of the Year, Dance Act, Pop Act, and Album of the Year.
Meanwhile, former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall has been rumoured to perform. Jade is nominated as a solo artist for the first time in the Pop Act and Song of the Year categories, for her hit Angel of My Dreams. Speaking on the Bring on the BRITs with Mastercard: The 2025 nominations livestream with presenter Sian Welby as host, Jade said on the nominations: "As a band we were nominated a few times and that’s amazing and we have won three BRIT awards over the last 10 years, but when it is for your own music and my own personal experiences it does hit different and it feels special.".
She continued: "When I first started this solo journey, I was writing a lot of music to exist outside of the group and fit as my own but the minute I wrote Angels of the Dream - that is when I knew that this is my sound." When questioned if she had told her fellow Little Mix bandmates about her nomination, Jade said: "I've not even told me mam, there is a lot of people to tell and then it will feel real and then when you get to the BRIT awards, it will feel like it is finally happening.".
