Robbie Williams will perform at the Brit Awards 2017
The pop star joins a line-up including Little Mix, Emeli Sandé and The 1975
Let him entertain you: Robbie Williams will take to the stage at the Brit Awards on 22nd February, joining a line-up that includes Little Mix, Emeli Sandé and The 1975.
Williams is far from a novice on the Brit Awards stage. In fact, he's won 17 statuettes as a solo artist and as part of Take That – making him the most-decorated Brits winner in history – and last year received the Brits Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture.
The pop star has also racked up a LOT of performances at the Brits, with six solo shows so far on top of his boy band appearances.

“I’m delighted to be performing at the Brits once again," he said in a statement. "It’s always a special night for music – this year feels like a big one."
Brits Chairman Jason Iley added: "We are excited to welcome back Robbie Williams to the Brits stage as he has become part of the Awards history. He’s a world class live performer who never disappoints!”
Little Mix will have their fingers crossed for a successful night: as well as performing, they will also be waiting to hear if any of their three nominations transform into awards.
