Meanwhile, the first performers for the ceremony – which will be hosted by TV personality Jack Whitehall – have been announced. Teddy Swims, JADE, Shaboozey, The Last Dinner Party and Myles Smith will all grace the stage of The O2 Arena.
Sebastian Battista Simone, SVP Audience, Warner Records & Parlophone and Co-chair of the BRITs Digital Committee said: “With billions of music fans across Meta’s platforms, we’re thrilled to expand the BRIT Awards partnership, by introducing WhatsApp as a new voting platform for the first time. Fans can now support their favourite artists directly within the app for public-voted categories, celebrating the artists with the most passionate and engaged communities.
