Justin Timberlake to perform at the BRIT Awards
Justin Timberlake is set to perform at this year’s BRIT Awards.
The ‘Mirrors’ hitmaker – who made his musical comeback recently – is reportedly set to headline at the award ceremony, which takes place at London’s The O2 Arena on February 21.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Justin went down in Brits folklore after his duet with Kylie in 2003 so he’ll always be synonymous with the Brits. He’ll be performing alone this time.”
Justin has performed at the BRIT Awards previously, teaming up with Kylie Minogue back in 2005 for the infamous performance where he grabbed Kylie’s bottom onstage.
Rita Ora, Rag’n’Bone Man, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Stormzy and Foo Fighters are also scheduled to perform at the ceremony.
Rita said of her performing gig: “I am so honoured to be performing at The BRITs this year, as a British artist it has always been a dream of mine and I am beyond excited.”
Whilst BRITs Chairman & CEO and Chairman of Sony Music UK & Ireland Jason Iley added: “The BRIT Awards are a celebration of the biggest success stories of the last 12 months in music and Rita has had an incredible year. She is one of the most exciting British artists of her generation. I am so pleased to welcome her to The BRITs stage and very much look forward to what will undoubtedly be one of the evenings many highlights.”
Meanwhile, Justin also has another big gig in the coming few days as he has been confirmed as the half-time show act at this year’s Super Bowl on February 4.
