12th January 2009  
The BPI, the UK record labels’ body, today announced the exciting news

This year’s BRIT Awards, the premiere event in the British music  
calendar, is shaping up to be one of the strongest yet, with U2  
confirmed, Pet Shop Boys being honoured with the Outstanding  
Contribution to Music Award and further intriguing live performances to  
be announced over the coming weeks. The show will be a spectacular  
night of great music, featuring and honouring the hottest music talent  
and thrilling the eleven thousand audience at Earls Court, as well as  
making it a must tune-in for the millions watching The BRITs live on
