The BRIT Awards 2018
The BRIT Awards (or the BRITs, as most people refer to it) are pop music awards given out every year by the British Phonographic Industry. It celebrates the best of international and British music.
The first awards were given in 1977. From 1982, it became a yearly event under the patronage of the BPI, the trade association of the British record industry. The awards were originally referred to as “Britannia,” “Britain,” or “British.” The shortened form “Brit” later became the appropriate acronym for its sponsor, the British Record Industry Trusts Show. Search for hotels near Paddington London to book your stay to be a part of this event.
The music awards ceremony is considered one of UK’s most prestigious and high-profile music awards ceremonies. Many of the most extraordinary events in the country’s pop culture occurred during the BRIT Awards. Freddie Mercury made his last public appearance during the BRIT Awards. Jarvis Cocker staged his high-profile protest in opposition of Michael Jackson during the BRIT Awards. Spice Girl Geri Halliwell wore the Union Jack dress during the BRIT Awards.
For the year 2018, the event will be held at London’s O2 Arena on the 21st of February. You will find it easy to go to the ceremony if you stay at The Edward Hotel Paddington.
It will be the 38th edition of the highly-anticipated yearly pop music awards. The ceremony will be on live broadcast on ITV. A remarkable 8.5 million audience is expected to tune in to the coverage.
It is not surprising that the city’s O2 Arena has been chosen as this year’s venue for the prestigious music award event. This is the 8th time that the BRIT Awards will be celebrated at this place.

Designed to seat 23,000 people, the O2 Arena is said to give the Wembley Arena a serious run for its money. It is well-known for being the chosen venue for concerts and shows featuring formidable names in the music industry like The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Girls Aloud, Justin Timberlake, The Killers, Beyonce, Kings of Leon, AC/DC, and Britney Spears.
