Harry Styles joins Brit Awards performer line-up | Ents & Arts News

[ad_1]



Harry Styles has joined the line-up of performers for the 2023 Brit Awards, organisers have confirmed.

The former One Direction star will share the bill with Sam Smith, Kim Petras and rock duo Wet Leg for this year's ceremony at The O2.


It follows a stint of success for the 28-year-old, who has been nominated for four awards, including album of the year for Harry's House, song of the year for As It Was, artist of the year, and best pop/R&B act.

Harry's House debuted at number one on the UK album charts, US Billboard 200 and more than 12 countries around the world after its release in May 2022.

Since then, it has remained in the UK Top Ten Album Chart.


Last year also saw Styles nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize, and an expansion of his acting career after landing roles in the films My Policeman and Don't Worry Darling.

Artists including George Ezra, Arctic Monkeys, Nova Twins, Aitch and Dave claimed two.

This year four genre categories will be decided by the public via a vote on TikTok - alternative rock act, hip hop/rap/grime act, dance act and pop/R&B act.

R&B girl group Flo were previously announced as the winners of the Rising Star award.

The Brit Awards 2023 will take place on Saturday 11 February and will be broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX from London's The O2 arena.
