The Brit Awards ceremony will take place as a live event with 4,000 guests at London`s O2 Field on May 11. According to Variety, an indoor ceremony and live show, the first at the O2 for longer than a year, will frame part of the UK government`s scientific `Events Research Program,` which uses enhanced testing approaches to examine how events can take place without the need for social distancing.

Honouring the efforts of frontline workers during the pandemic, 2,500 of the tickets will be gifted by record labels and the recorded music industry via ballot to frontline workers and a guest of their choice from a range of sectors in the greater London area. The leftover 1,500 spots will be designated for purchase to the nominated and performing artists and their teams, supporting record labels, management and show partners and sponsors. As detailed by Variety, audience members will not be socially distanced or needed to wear face covers in the area. In any case, they will be needed to follow existing government direction while making a trip to the venue and adhere to precludes set by the occasion organizers.
