Alt-J

Clean Bandit

Coldplay

One Direction

Royal Blood

 

Seasoned BRIT Awards veterans Coldplay are nominated in this category for the sixth time in the band’s history, up against Alt-J, One Direction and BRITs newcomers Clean Bandit and Royal Blood.

 

Coldplay have already taken home the BRIT Award for British Group three times, in 2001, 2003 and 2012. Their trophy cabinet holds a total of eight BRITs, from 21 nominations over the years, including for British Album, Single, Group and Best Live Act.

 

alt-J were three-times nominated at The BRITs in 2012, for British Breakthrough Act, British Album and British Group. Once again they find themselves up against Coldplay in this category, who took home the award in 2012.

 

Also previously nominated in this category are One Direction, who were up for the award in both 2013 and 2014, losing out to Mumford & Sons and Arctic Monkeys respectively. The band have taken home a total of four BRITs in previous years, including for British Video and Global Success in 2014.

 

Clean Bandit will perform at ‘The BRITs Are Coming’ Nominations Launch event, whilst fellow first-time nominees Royal Blood will be performing on the night of the ceremony itself.

The BRIT Awards 2015 take place at London’s O2 Arena on 25 February and will be broadcast live on ITV at 8pm GMT. See all the nominations here.<iframe style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Let's hope they win! A well deserved nomination and they are obviously the most qualifying choice.

Gratz on the award One Direction............... :(

1D are going to win it, dont get high hopes

Just as I predicted, this year will be the first year that Coldplay is up against One Direction for Best British Group. I would hate to see 1D win this year, the fact that the British music industry would chose a Teen-Pop Boy Band over one of the biggest rock bands in the world is beyond me.

Yeah. 1D fans on twitter are annoying as hell! Why isn't musical talented actually appreciated in the music industry?! Does my head in sometimes :lol:

Going to be between Coldplay and 1D imo, possibly Royal Blood since they are up for Best Album too. I wouldn't say this award is a forgone conclusion though. This is voted by critics so you never know. Saying that, the Brits were all over 1D last year.

 

 

Anyway, I'm going to the Brits this year! Looking forward to this.

Not to mention the fact that rock music is more popular in Britain than it is in America.

I think the Brits are going to be all over Sam Smith this year. :P

Man this is like.....

 

 

The day after my birthday! :|

New Coldplaying Article

 

Includes the BRIT Awards and GRAMMY Awards they have won in the past :)

Popularity contest: 1D will win :\

1D is overrated

Awards aren't important guys. So many great bands never win awards, it's so superficial.

Also 1D had way more impact in the music industry than coldplay did, so in a way they deserve to win, all coldplay did was release an album, release a dvd and disappear without a tour

Until you reread the name of the award :|

group is different from band, group includes bands and boy bands

Oh well, 1D is going to win anyway. :blank:

 

(I'm glad that George Ezra has 4 nominations and I hope that he's going to win some) :)

is Hozier nominated for something?

is Hozier nominated for something?

 

Yes, for International male solo artist. I hope he wins!

Awwww i hope he does! he's playing on italian television on sunday :wacko:

Yeah but best :p

Coldplay could seriously win this award, it may be pretty tough to beat One Direction, but remember that rock music is more popular in Britain than it is in America. And that Coldplay put more time and effort into Ghost Stories than 1D put into FOUR.

Awards aren't important guys. So many great bands never win awards, it's so superficial.

 

And that's why those bands never get noticed. :cry:

Coldplay deserves awards in our hearts guys. :heart: :P
