The awards are presented annually by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and have been held since 1977. They celebrate outstanding achievements across various music genres, with categories such as Artist of the Year, Group of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.
Last year saw RAYE sweep the event and break the record for most wins in a single ceremony with her four awards; she also became the first woman to win songwriter of the year for her debut album, My 21st Century Blues.
Will anyone come close to achieving that feat once again in 2025? We’ll hopefully find out before the weekend - but when exactly will we find out who is vying for what and can we watch the nominations as they happen live this year?
