The biggest stars in pop and rock are gathering in Manchester ahead of the 46th edition of the Brit Awards.
It's the first time the ceremony has been held outside London since its inception in 1977 - but two Londoners, Olivia Dean and Lola Young, lead the nominations with five apiece.
The eclectic shortlist also sees recognition for Lily Allen's bitter break-up album, West End Girl, songs from the movie musicals Wicked and KPop Demon Hunters, and a best group nomination for resurgent Britpop band Pulp.
Here's what you need to know ahead of the ceremony.
It's three years since Harry Styles last played at the Brits.
