The winners of this year’s BRIT Awards have been announced.
With a big flashy ceremony held at London’s O2 Arena last night, the big winner was Dua Lipa – who walked away with both the awards for Female Solo Artist and the Mastercard Album gong for her latest full-length ‘Future Nostalgia’.
Other big winners, on a night dominated by female talent, included Little Mix, who took British Group, and Arlo Parks, who won Breakthrough Artist.
The ceremony was the first live music event at The O2 in over a year, acting as one of the test events for a return to gigs to follow. Audience members were limited, but were not required to socially distance or wear face coverings. They did, however, have to show proof of a negative lateral flow test to attend, and have been asked to take a second post event.
