Originally scheduled for February 2021, the ceremony has been moved to 11 May and will be held at the O2 Arena in London. Dua Lipa and Griff have also been announced as performers for this year's BRIT Awards.

According to an announcement made by the awards ceremony on 23 April, a live audience will be allowed to view the ceremony as part of the UK's COVID event trials. In a report by BBC News, the event will also take place as "normal" as possible, including the serving of food and alcohol. 

4000 people will be allowed to enter the arena without having to wear a mask or observe social distancing measures, as long as they produce a negative COVID-19 test before the event. As part of the government research, attendees will also need to take a COVID test after the event for the study. 

1500 of the available tickets will be given to the nominated artists and their teams, while the other 2500 will be given to key workers in London in an effort to thank them for their service. Those eligible can register for a free ticket via the BRIT Awards' official website.
