The BRIT Awards 2022 with Mastercard today confirms the date of next year's awards show as Tuesday 8th February, once again taking place live from The O2 arena, and broadcast exclusively on ITV.

The BRITs also today announce that Polydor co-president Tom March is taking over the BRIT Committee for 2022 under Universal Music UK's third year at the helm and following 2021's extraordinary show which not only heralded the return to live music in the UK following the Covid-19 pandemic, but also included stand-out winner and performance moments from global superstars including Taylor Swift, Elton John, The Weeknd, Coldplay and Dua Lipa.

The 2021 campaign saw record-breaking numbers for its international viewing audience as a result of an impactful and creative digital campaign which resulted in major uplifts across The BRITs' social media channels, and supported a show that put the artists and their music front and centre. The 2022 show will continue to build on that ethos; celebrating British and international artists and their achievements over the past year, in what is set to be an even more innovative and interactive show than ever before.

The long standing partnerships with ITV (29 years), Mastercard (24 years) and The O2 arena (12 years), will continue to support The BRITs' mission to continue delivering an evening of live music and entertainment that millions of music fans all over the world annually tune in for, and that has raised over £27million to date for The BRIT Trust, the charitable arm of the awards, which distributes funds to The BRIT School, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and other organisations working within education and well-being with young people.

Further campaign announcements will be made in the coming months.
