BRIT Awards 2015

Warner Music UK’s CEO Max Lousada has been named as the new Chairman of the BRITs Committee. So that’s nice. For him. He replaces former Warner UK boss Christian Tattersfield in the top BRITs job.

In his new role, Lousada will oversee the strategic and creative direction of the UK music industry’s big awards ceremony. His first action in this capacity is to appoint a new creative team, including Es Devlin as Stage Designer and Willo Perron as Creative Director.

Discussing his new role and the changes he’s already enacted, Lousada said: “The BRITs is the UK’s biggest showcase for music talent and one of the most anticipated events in the global entertainment calendar, so to lead the team behind it is both a great honour and an exciting challenge. At its heart, The BRITs is a celebration of creativity so it’s fitting that our first appointments are Es and Willo, both of whom are synonymous with artistic excellence and have collaborated with some of the world’s most exciting and inventive acts”.

You’ll be able to see if his work is triumphant or a disastrous pig’s ear when the 2015 ceremony goes live LIVE LIIIIIIIIIIIVE at The O2 Arena in London on 25 Feb next year.
