LOS ANGELES -- The BRIT Awards, the British equivalent of the Grammy Awards, will stream live globally (except in the UK) on YouTube Wednesday, starting at 12 p.m. PT (see above).
Viewers in the UK can watch the show on ITV 1 or on the ITV website.
Performers include Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Madonna, Ed Sheeran, Royal Blood, George Ezra, Paloma Faith, Take That and more at London's O2 arena.
Kanye's performance, announced on Tuesday, is his first at the BRITs since 2006, when he delivered a memorable medley of "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," "Gold Digger" and "Touch The Sky." He's expected to debut a new song this year.
After the show, Google Play will offer some of the performances for free to stream or download. For each download, Google Play is donating funds to War Child and The BRIT Trust.
BBC Radio 1 hosts Dan Howell and Phil Lester, alongside YouTube vlogger Patricia Bright, will provide commentary from the red carpet and backstage during the live stream.
