Each winner was presented with the Brit’s first ever collaborative double-trophy, designed by Es Devlin OBE and Yinka Ilori MBE, with each recipient encouraged to re-gift the smaller trophy to someone else.
The ceremony, hosted by Jack Whitehall and broadcasted on ITV, was a celebration of the return to live music.
The show saw a total of 11 awards handed out alongside nine unbeatable show-stopping performances, six of which were able to be staged live in stadium.
The event took place in front of a live audience of 4,000 people at London’s The O2 six days before the next phase of lockdown lifts.
Of the small audience, 2,500 attendees were made up of key workers and their guests whose tickets were donated by the BRITs via a ballot.

Working closely with the Government to adhere to safety guidelines, The BRITs, as the first live music show at The O2 in over a year, played an important role in paving the way for the return of live music at scale as the UK emerges from the past year’s restrictions.
Audience members were not required to be socially distanced or wear face coverings in the arena, but were required to follow existing Government guidance when travelling to the venue and adhere to rules set out by the event organisers.
Attendees had to show proof of a negative lateral flow test result to enter the venue, and as part of the wider scientific research on the trial events, all attendees were asked to take a test post-event to gather further evidence on the safety of indoor settings, reduced social distancing and the removal of non-pharmaceutical interventions like face coverings.
They also were asked to provide contact details for NHS Test and Trace to ensure everyone can be traced in the event of an audience member receiving a positive test after the event.
