The BRIT Awards 2022 with Mastercard certainly didn't disappoint! Taking place on Tuesday 8th February at The 02 Arena, some of the biggest names in music took to the stage to perform EPIC sets.

Now that the winners have been revealed and the clean up is in full swing, we thought it was time to take a look back at all of the performances from the night, including Ed Sheeran, Adele and Dave.

Who performed at The BRIT Awards 2022?

Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon

Ed Sheeran opened the 2022 show with an explosive performance of his hit single 'Bad Habits', featuring Bring Me The Horizon.

Adele

In what was her first performance at The BRITs since 2016, Adele reminded us of how amazing her vocals are during her performance of 'I Drink Wine'.

Anne-Marie, KSI and Digital Farm Animals

Anne-Marie took to the stage to perform her huge collab 'Don't Play' with KSI and Digital Farm Animals and despite a little fall whilst walking down some steps, the singer styled it out amazingly!

Such a professional! (PS. We hope that ankle is OK!)

Liam Gallagher

Liam performed his track 'Everything's Electric' in a rather stylish hat.

Little Simz

British rapper Little Simz brought some serious vibes to the stage as she performed a mash-up of her tracks 'Introvert' and 'Women'.

Sam Fender

North Shields lad Sam Fender brought his Geordie tone to The BRITs stage with a performance of his smash hit 'Seventeen Going Under'.

Dave

After picking up an award, Dave closed the show with an incredible performance of 'In The Fire'. The rapper was joined on stage by Fredo, Meekz, Ghetts, Giggs.

Holly Humberstone

BRITs Rising Star winner Holly Humberstone showed us all why she was victorious in 2022, showing off her amazing vocals and making us cry in the process.

Ed Sheeran

As well as opening the show, Ed Sheeran returned to the stage later in the night for a sweet performance of his track 'The Joker and the Queen'.

Why didn't Doja Cat perform at The BRIT Awards 2022?

American star Doja Cat was set to perform at the ceremony, however on 31st January revealed that she could no longer make it, due to members of her crew testing positive for COVID-19. Taking to Twitter, Doja wrote: 'Unfortunately due to cases of COVID within my crew, I will no longer be performing at The BRITs. My team and I have been in rehearsals for weeks and despite taking the utmost caution, numerous members of my crew (both on and off stage) have tested positive for COVID. It's simply not safe for us to continue to rehearse together and put each other in harm's way. I can't wait to perform for my UK dans as soon as I can. Take care of yourselves.'
