STORMZY is the latest act to be confirmed to perform at next month’s star-studded Brit Awards.
The grime rapper, who released his third album This Is What I Mean in November, will take to the stage at the biggest night in music on February 11.
He joins a line-up featuring Harry Styles, Cat Burns, Lizzo, Wet Leg, Sam Smith and Kim Petras at The Brits.
David Guetta, Becky Hill and Ella Henderson will also give a group performance, as I revealed earlier this week.
Stormzy is a three-time Brit Award winner and is hoping to double those numbers after landing three nominations for British Artist of the Year, British Album of the Year and Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act.

It’s not the first time he will have performed at the event, having done the same in 2018 and 2020.
His latest album, This Is What I Mean, went straight to the No1 spot following its release last month.
And earlier this month insiders revealed he is already working on his next record.
A source said: “Stormzy isn’t resting on his laurels and has been writing and recording new music already.
“Artistically he seems to be the strongest and most creative he has ever been,
“Stormzy has been doing some stuff at Qube Studios in London.
“He registered a new song on PRS earlier this month. The track is called Fire and it’s been pegged as a smash hit.
“Those around Stormzy think the song could spawn another album. It is really empowering and moving – and is very much in the vein of This Is What I Mean.
“His label is really excited about what they are hearing and no one should be surprised if Stormzy dropped another song or two this year.
“It is a hugely exciting time for him.”

A number of the songs on Stormzy’s latest album were inspired by his Maya Jama, with the heartfelt tracks appearing to be a love letter to the telly star.
And after I revealed last year how the pair had started dating again, maybe this new record will be about their reconciliation.
Stormzy will play his only UK concert of 2023 at Luno presents All Points East in London's Victoria Park on August 18.
