This weekend is a big ’un for the music industry. Charli XCX will go head to head with Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ is taking on Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ and Bring Me the Horizon are competing with Coldplay for the top prizes at this year’s BRIT Awards.
Loads of the people that defined music in 2024 will be descending on London’s O2 Arena on Saturday to find out who among them has been voted the best of the best. And with performances from the likes of JADE, Sabrina Carpenter and Ezra Collective, it’s going to be a lot of fun.
If you’re not lucky enough to be at the ceremony in person, so what? Switch on the TV and put on a BRITs party of your own. Here’s how you can watch the BRIT Awards 2025 from home.
When are the BRIT Awards 2025?

And make sure to keep an eye out on the Time Out for all of our real-time coverage.
What time to the BRITs start?

Who’s presenting?
Comedian, actor and former Time Out cover star Jack Whitehall is hosting the ceremony for the fifth time. He said: ‘I’m really excited to be returning to the BRITs, it’s an absolute honour.
‘The last show I did was in 2021, which had a fair few restrictions due to Covid. So, it always felt like, due to circumstances beyond my control, I’d maybe gone out with a little bit of a whimper. I think The BRITs 2025 is going to make up for that and be a really big night!’
Who’s performing?
The stars confirmed to perform at this year’s BRITs are Sam Fender, JADE, Teddy Swims, the Last Dinner Party, Lola Young, Ezra Collective, Sabrina Carpenter and Myles Smith (winner of BRITs Rising Star 2025 trophy).
