2017 Critics’ Choice winner Rag‘n’Bone Man to perform live at The BRIT Awards 2018 with Mastercard

The BRIT Awards 2018 with Mastercard today announce that Rag‘n’Bone Man will perform live on the show on Wednesday 21st February at The O2 Arena, London.

Rag’n’Bone Man has had an exceptional 12 months since winning BRITs Critics Choice and British Breakthrough act at last year’s award show. His debut album Human went straight to No.1 upon release, achieving the fastest selling UK male debut of the decade. The album has so far spent over 47 weeks in the UK charts and is certified 3x Platinum with over a million copies sold in the UK alone and over 2.5 million copies worldwide. His show was one of the highlights of BRITs Week 2017 for War Child, followed by a UK headline tour including three sold out shows at London’s Brixton Academy.

Rag’n’Bone Man said: ‘Jheez! 2017 has flown by super quick. Its pretty mental to think that I bagged two awards at the BRITs last year and now I’m heading back to perform. I’m looking forward to being a part of the celebration with everyone. It’s going to be a good one for sure!’

BRITs Chairman & CEO and Chairman of Sony Music UK & Ireland Jason Iley said: ‘Rory epitomises how dreams can come true. He has had the most amazing 12 months and I'm so delighted to see him back where it all started.'

Rag‘n’Bone Man is the latest performer to be announced for the UK’s biggest night in music, which has already confirmed Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and Foo Fighters for the show, which will be hosted by Jack Whitehall.

The 38th BRIT Awards will be broadcast live on ITV and take place for the eighth year in a row at The O2, London.

Mastercard is celebrating its 20th year as headline sponsor of the BRIT Awards, and continues its sponsorship of the much sought-after Mastercard Album of the Year Award.
