January 7, 2011
Tinie Tempah, Jessie J and Ellie Goulding To Play BRIT Awards 2011 Nominations LaunchJessie J, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding will play the BRIT Awards 2011 nominations announcement next week.

The launch at the Indigo2 in London will be hosted for the fourth time by Fearne Cotton.

Goulding, who won last year’s Critics Choice award, will perform a collaboration with Tempah, organisers said.

This year’s Critics Choice winner Jessie J, who has also been named the BBC Sound Of 2011, and The Wanted are also set to perform.

The BRIT Awards feature 13 categories, and organisers said this year’s 68 nominations “will reflect all that is both popular and credible in British music right now”.

The nomination launch will be shown on ITV2 on January 14 at 8pm. The ceremony takes place in February.
