The BRIT Awards 2018 with Mastercard today announce that multi-million selling superstar and three-time BRIT winner Justin Timberlake will perform live on the show on Wednesday 21st February at The O2 Arena, London.
Justin Timberlake is one of the most successful international male solo artists in the world with all three of his previous albums (Justified, FutureSex/LoveSounds and The 20/20 Experience) going to No.1 in the UK as well as receiving many platinum and multi-platinum certifications worldwide.
A multi-talented musician and actor, Justin Timberlake has sold over 32 million albums worldwide, sold out arenas all across the globe, received numerous awards and nominations, all which have helped him to become one of the most highly respected entertainers in the world today. He also recently unveiled details of his highly anticipated fourth studio album Man of the Woods which is set for release 2nd February on RCA Records.
BRITs Chairman & CEO and Chairman of Sony Music UK & Ireland Jason Iley said ‘We are honoured to have an artist of Justin’s stature and relevance performing at this year’s BRIT Awards. He is one of the most exciting male solo artists in the world with success spanning more than two decades and is adored by music fans across the globe. The BRITs has an enviable history of being one of the most important platforms for incredible stand out TV moments from the biggest global artists and I have no doubt that Justin’s performance will be one to remember.'
Joining the previously announced Rita Ora, Rag’n’Bone Man, Jorja Smith, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Dua Lipa, Foo Fighters and Sam Smith, Timberlake will take to the BRITs stage for the third time.
