Lady Gaga, JLS and Kasabian are among the acts who will perform at the Brit Awards next month, it was announced today.
The line-up details for the 30th anniversary ceremony come ahead of tonight’s shortlist announcement for which the runners and riders and will be revealed.
One performer who is unlikely to be celebrating is global star Susan Boyle, who is reported to have failed to make the list of nominations, which will be unveiled tonight.
It will be a second appearance at the Brits for US act Lady Gaga, who had last year’s biggest selling single with her chart-topper ‘Poker Face’. In 2009 she accompanied the Pet Shop Boys but when she plays at Earls Court in London this year she will be solo.
Other performances include a collaboration between Dizzee Rascal and last year’s Critics’ Choice winner Florence And The Machine, who will be performing Dirtee Love.
The event – officially titled The Brit Awards 2010 with MasterCard – is the biggest night in the UK music calendar.
Nominations will be announced at a launch party at the IndigO2 venue at London’s O2 Arena tonight hosted by Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton, at which hotly tipped newcomer Ellie Goulding and chart acts La Roux and Pixie Lott will perform.
Goulding has already won this year’s Critics’ Choice title which will be presented at the event next month.
Robbie Williams is already assured of at least one Brit win this year as the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award.
Boyle however has failed to make the ‘best female’ award list, according to the Daily Mail. ‘The Britain’s Got Talent’ runner-up faced a strong year for female acts in a category which has often been considered rather weak.
Ged Doherty, chairman of The Brits Committee, said of the line-up for the Brits show on February 16: “These acts are young, vibrant and hugely talented. Each brings something different to the Brits party.”

they always ask me Lady GaGa what's race?I only tell 'em I'm from a faraway place
Cristina Agulera looks like she could be my sis
but when she's driving her new Bentley I'll be flying my spaceship
Oh ohooooooh oh oh oh
no dial tone use my finger to phone home
oh ohooooooh oh oh oh
my finger's good for phonin' 'cause I don't get charged for roamin'
"Chorus"
can't deny can't deny that I am really from outer space(x2)
ou ou ou outer space ou ou outer space ou ou ou outer space ou ou outer space
"Verse 2"
I pimp my flying saucer out with rhymestone bling
I used to date Java the heart we had a fling
I'm a master at creating crop circles from the sky
my only insecurity is my extra eye(back 2 chorus)
"verse 3"
Don't you tell me that I'm cuckoo 'cause I will come and abduct you implant a tracker up your nose
use a probe you know where that goes(chorus x2)

I want your whisky mouth
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your friends
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Dirty pony I can’t wait to hose you down
You’ve got to earn your leather in this part of town
Dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels
Let’s raise hell in the streets drink beer and get into trouble
I could be your girl girl girl girl girl girl
But would you love me if I ruled the world world world
Oooooo
Heavy Metal Lover
Whip me slap me, drunk funk
New York clubbers, bump drunk
Budlite, liquors, bar slam
Wash the night, with St. J-ameson
Like a baptism
Heavy metal lovers play
Because we were born this way
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your friends
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
