Singer-songwriter Raye is the final performer to be announced for this year's Brit Awards.
The 28-year-old, real name Rachel Keen, joins a star-studded list of performers previously announced for the ceremony and live broadcast, including former One Direction member Harry Styles and Grammy-winner Olivia Dean.
Other musical names performing at the show being held at Manchester’s Co-op Live on 28 February include rock band Wolf Alice, Mark Ronson and American singer-songwriter Sombr, whose real name is Shane Boose.
Raye, who is nominated in the pop act category this year, said: "We are so grateful to the Brit Awards for having us back on their stage. Me and the band are very excited. Lots of love, Raye."
She previously made history in 2024 when she took home six gongs at the Brit Awards, the most of any artist in one night, with her wins including songwriter and artist of the year.
This year’s nominations list is topped by Lola Young and pop star Dean, who each have five nominations.
Young, 25, won a Grammy this year in the best pop solo performance category for her hit song Messy, and at the Brit Awards is up for best pop act, artist of the year, breakthrough act, best alternative and rock act and best song.
Elsewhere, Britpop band Pulp have scored their first nomination in 30 years, in the best group category, while last year’s Mercury Prize winner Sam Fender has four nominations.
Lily Allen, whose album West End Girl caused a stir when it was released last year, is nominated in three categories – for best album, artist of the year, and pop act.
Alex Warren’s Ordinary is competing with US popstars including Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams and Sabrina Carpenter in the international song of the year category.
Advance winners already announced include Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, who will be named Songwriter Of The Year, while record producer and DJ Ronson will be honoured with the outstanding contribution to music award.
Gallagher, who has achieved huge success both in Oasis and with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, has won multiple Brit awards in the past.
The 24-year-old is the first woman and youngest ever artist to win the accolade, according to the Brit Awards.
The ceremony will be hosted by comedian and actor Jack Whitehall and will be broadcast on ITV and ITVX.
