Organisers of the Brit Awards have announced some changes to the ceremony for next year, including handing over more creative control to its performing artists.
More cosmetic changes see the Critics Choice, Best Breakthrough and Best British Single categories renamed as Rising Star, Best New Artist and Song Of The Year respectively. Despite speculation however, gender-specific categories are unchanged.
For those invited to perform on the night, organisers have made a point of saying they will ‘hand the stage to the artists without imposing any creative limitations’.
“We have had a fresh look at the Brit Awards this year,” avid Joseph, chairman of The Brits Committee for 2020, summarises. “Most importantly we will be putting creativity, British culture and exceptional performances at the heart of the show to make Brits night a world class celebration.”
“The awards should be a global platform for the artists of the year to create moments that live beyond the night itself. We are looking at everything to put on the best possible show.”
