BBC Music Awards
One Direction, Ellie Goulding,
Little Mix and Mumford and Sons have all been confirmed to play at the
second BBC Music Awards in December.
The ceremony will also
feature sets from Hozier, Jess Glynne and OMI, whose single Cheerleader
was one of the songs of the summer.
Many of the acts will be backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
The ceremony, at Birmingham's Genting Arena, will be hosted by Chris Evans and Fearne Cotton.
More
than 10,000 tickets are available for members of the public; while
nominees for the awards will be announced in the run-up to the show on
10 December.
'Really excited'
Launched
in London's Earl's Court last year, the inaugural ceremony saw Pharrell
Williams receive two of the four prizes on offer - best international
artist and song of the year, for his exuberant, gospel-inspired single
Happy.
Ed Sheeran was named British artist of the year, while
newcomers Catfish and the Bottlemen won BBC Introducing award for best
new act.
This year's show will add one further category: Best live
performance, given to the band or artist who has delivered "the stand
out live moment" on the BBC over the past 12 months.
