The Brits music awards will move to the O2 Arena after more than a decade at Earls Court.

“The Brits made the decision to change the format of the event and go with an arena format,” says Earls Court commercial director Anna Golden. “We are sad to see them go, but after 13 years at Earls Court we wish them well.”

Golden adds that in the last few years show organisers have tinkered with the format to keep the event up-to-date.

According to the Evening Standard, the British Phonographic Industry, organiser of the awards, is looking for ways to cut costs as revenues for the record labels that fund the event continue to fall.
