Brit Awards 2024

The Brit Awards 2024 is the upcoming 44th edition of the Brit Awards ceremony presented by British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and is scheduled to take place on Saturday 2 March 2024 at The O2 Arena in London. The ceremony will return on a weekend due to successful viewership for the 2023 ceremony, which was held on a weekend for the first time. After presenting the ceremony for two consecutive years, Mo Gilligan has announced that he will not be presenting the ceremony.

For this year's ceremony, Raye received the most nominations with seven in total, breaking the record for the most nominations received by a single artist in a year. British rappers Central Cee and J Hus tied for second with four each.

Background

For the 2024 awards, there were two major category changes:
*The number of nominees in the British Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year has increased from five to ten.
*The British Pop/R&B Act category will be split into British Pop Act and British R&B Act. The winners in both categories, as well as the three other genre categories, will be decided by a public vote via Instagram.
