The long awaited name to be added to the already bulging list of performers was the fantastic Justin Timberlake.

Justin is a three-time BRIT Award winner and has recently enjoyed comeback success with the release of three singles from his forthcoming fifth, solo, studio album 'Man of the Woods'.

The performance of 'Say Something' (featuring Chris Stapleton) featured both singers in a deserted building. Using a continuous shot the camera follows Justin as he walks through the corridors of a huge building and eventually comes across Chris and other members of the band

Rita Ora also performed at the BRITs 2018. With four previous BRIT nominations, Rita is no stranger to the annual music awards. In recent years the 'Anywhere' singer has had 11 top ten singles and a number 1 album, she has also become one of the most successful UK pop acts from the last decade.

Justin and Rita joined the line-up which also included Foo Fighters, Rag’n’Bone Man, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Dua Lipa and Sam Smith who also performed on the night.

Critics' Choice winner, Jorja Smith, also took to the stage to perform with the 2017 winner, Rag'n'Bone Man. Jorja was announced as the winner of the Critics' Choice in December 2017 and awarded the prestigious award at The BRITs Are Coming event, presented by Emma Willis earlier this year.
