International superstar Bruno Mars, winner of 2012’s International Male Solo Artist and this year’s biggest selling US male artist, will join Arctic Monkeys and Katy Perry to perform at the The BRIT Awards 2014 with MasterCard at The O2 Arena as part of what promises to be a truly spectacular show on Wednesday 19th February. Bruno has sold over 10 million albums globally as well as breaking chart records along the way.

Flying the flag for new British music, Rudimental and Bastille will also both perform at The BRITs for the first time. Both acts have enjoyed incredible success in 2013 with their debut albums charting at No. 1 (Rudimental with ‘Home’ and Bastille with ‘Bad Blood’). Bastille’s ‘Bad Blood’ is the biggest selling debut album of this year.

Rudimental said, “We are really looking forward to playing the BRITs. We went to the event for the very first time this year when we were nominated for Best Single for ‘Feel The Love’. We didn’t win but it was such an amazing night celebrating the best of British music. So to actually be a part of the event this time round is the icing on the cake after such an incredible year too. We are definitely going to bring the party vibe”.
