The BRIT Awards 2022 nominations have been announced, with the ceremnony due to take place on 8 February, 2022 at London’s O2 Arena, hosted by comedian Mo Gilligan.
Adele ties with Ed Sheeran, Little Simz and Dave for the most nominations. They receive four apiece, and all feature in the prestigious best album and best British artist categories. Sam Fender completes the shortlist for those awards, and picks up a third nod for best rock artist. Rap newcomer Central Cee also achieves three nominations, including best new artist. Dua Lipa follows up her successful 2021 BRITs with two nominations.
Little Mix, who this year became the first female act to win best British group, are in the running for that prize once again. Their competition includes Coldplay, who receive a record ninth nomination in the category (they’ve won four times) alongside grime act D-Block Europe and two female-fronted bands, Wolf Alice and London Grammar. And ABBA seal their triumphant return by being shortlisted for best international band.
