Dave, Lewis Capaldi and Stormzy lead Brit Awards nominations

This year's ceremony will take place on Tuesday 18th February at the O2 Arena. Jack Whitehall will host the show, which will be broadcast live on ITV1.

Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy and Dave lead the nominations for the 2020 Brit Awards. 

Capaldi and rapper Dave have both scored four nominations and will compete against each other for Best Male, Best Newcomer, Best Single and Album of the year at the ceremony. 

Stormzy, who also has three nominations of his own, will go up against Capaldi and Dave for Best Album, along with Harry Styles and Michael Kiwanuka. 

The same group of artists will face off for Best Male, with Aitch, Mabel and Sam Fender up against Dave and Capaldi for Best Newcomer. 

Mabel also has three nominations. The singer will face competition from Freya Ridings, Charli XCX, Mahalia and FKA Twigs for Best Female, while she's also in the running for Best Song. 

The awards have been streamlined this year by organisers. Both Best British Video and Best International Group have been cut, while the outstanding contribution award has been retired for 2020.

Organisers have also vowed to give more control to the artists who perform, promising to "...hand the stage to the artists booked to perform on the night without imposing any creative limitations".

As well as this, the ceremony has moved to a Tuesday from its traditional slot on a Wednesday. This year's ceremony will take place on Tuesday 18th February at the O2 Arena. 

Jack Whitehall will host the show, which will be broadcast live on ITV1.
