Who won the Brit Awards and where to see them live in 2025
Here are the all the winners from this weekend's event – and how to catch them on tour
Charli swept, JADE fell and Sabrina Carpenter brought her own King’s Guard – it’s the year of female pop and the Brit Awards reflected it. Charli XCX was the night’s big winner, bringing home five awards including many of the night’s most sought-after trophies. Many Brit favourites were also honoured, however, with The Last Dinner Party, Sam Fender and RAYE all picking up awards.
Here’s the lowdown on all this weekend’s winners – and how to get your hands on tickets to see them live.

Charli scooped up Album for Brat, Song for ‘Guess’, and three other awards besides, including Artist of the Year. Who’s really surprised? She’ll play Parklife Festival and LIDO Festival this June, so make sure you grab tickets to one – or both!

The jazz quintet became the first jazz band to win Group of the Year at this weekend’s ceremony, using their speech to advocate for better music programmes at youth level.
