Some of the biggest names in music will be honoured at this year's BRIT Awards.

Celebrating the best of the last year of music, the upcoming ceremony is set to welcome the likes of James Arthur, Tinie Tempah, Caroline Flack and Holly Willoughby.

From how to watch and who is presenting, here’s everything you need to know:

When is it?

The BRIT Awards will take place tonight at London’s O2 Arena where guests will sit down to dinner ahead of the ceremony. Once the gongs have been given out, a host of stars will head off to celebrate at a number of after parties across the capital.

How to watch?

Red carpet kicks off at 4pm and fans will be able to watch all the action on the official BRIT Awards Facebook page. For overseas viewers, YouTuber Casper Lee will be hosting the international livestream on YouTube.

The ceremony will be live on ITV from 7:30pm.

Who is presenting?

Lilah Parsons and George Shelley will be presenting live from the red carpet, with Emma Willis and Dermot O’Leary playing host for the main ceremony.

Michael Bublé was the first choice, but was forced to step down after his three year-old son was diagnosed with cancer. Willis said she hopes to do Bublé “proud” while O’Leary said it was an “honour” to step in.
