Legendary nineties band set to join Dua Lipa on Brit Awards stage as they’re up for three gongs

NEXT month’s Brit Awards are shaping up to be pretty spectacular.

After I exclusively revealed performances by Raye and Dua Lipa, I can now confirm that the line-up is about to get a whole lot rockier, with nominees Blur also poised to take to the stage.

Blur will be among the performers at this year's Brit Awards

The Parklife hitmakers are up for three gongs following the ­success of their No1 album The Ballad Of Darren last year.

It comes ahead of their headline performance at US music festival Coachella in April.

An insider tells me: “No one does Britpop as well as Blur, so welcoming them to the stage at the Brits will be a homecoming of sorts and add a certain gravitas.”

The band, fronted by Damon Albarn last performed at the event in 2012, when they picked up a gong for outstanding contribution to music.

Meanwhile, Raye has become the most nominated artist at the Brit Awards in a single year in the event’s 46-year history.

The singer-songwriter from London has landed seven nominations following the success of her No1 single Escapism with 070 Shake and critically-acclaimed debut album My 21st Century Blues.

Reacting to the news, Raye said: “I am completely floored to be recognised seven times this year.

“I was a Brit school student and I remember how deeply I dreamed of one day being recognised at the Brits.

“I am currently a mess of overwhelming emotions and confusion as to how this even happened to be honest.”
