Nominations for the ceremony were announced online earlier this month, with Styles and Wet Leg both nominated for four awards.
Other nominated artists include Arctic Monkeys, Beyoncé, Cat Burns, Dave, Ed Sheeran, Eliza Rose, Lizzo, Nova Twins, Sam Smith, and Taylor Swift.
Emerging girl group FLO have already been announced as the winners of the 2023 Rising Star award.
Here are all the performers taking to the stage at this year’s awards...
Stormzy
Stormzy’s appearance will mark his third performance at the Brit Awards.
The 29-year-old, who previously performed at the 2018 ceremony, when he won for Best Male Artist, and in 2020, will perform at this year’s ceremony.
The rapper has received a total of three nominations at the 2023 ceremony: Mastercard Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act.

David Guetta will make his debut performance at the Brits, and will perform alongside previous winner Becky Hill.
On the news of his performance, Guetta said: “It’s a great honour to be nominated for the Brit Award, as I have always felt a strong connection to British music and culture and had amazing experiences here.”
Lewis Capaldi
Capaldi was the final act to be confirmed to perform at the forthcoming ceremony. The last time the Scottish singer took to the stage was in 2020.
“Last time I played The BRIT Awards I was so scared that I had a panic attack before I went on, and then got hammered afterwards. Looking forward to more of the same this year,” said Capaldi.
Cat Burns
Emerging artist Cat Burns, who was nominated for the Rising Star Award, will perform at the ceremony. New group FLO have already been announced as the winners.
Harry Styles
Recent Grammy winner Harry Styles will take to the stage at this year’s ceremony. The 29-year-old just beat Adele and Beyoncé to Album of the Year in his controversial win at the Grammys.
Sam Smith and Kim Petras
Sam Smith will take to the stage with Kim Petras for a performance at this year’s ceremony. Last Sunday (5 February) Petras became the first ever transgender woman to win a Grammy for best pop duo/group.
“Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win this award,” said the artist.
Wet Leg
Wet Leg will also be performing at the ceremony.
The indie group made headlines earlier this week after they picked up two Grammys, beating the likes of Arctic Monkeys.
