A Decade of BRIT Award Performances
Defining pop’s biggest stage moments.
Black Skull has helped shape some of the most memorable BRIT Awards performances of the past decade.
Where most production work serves a song, Black Skull builds a world. The BRITs stage remains one of the few places where a single live performance can shift how an artist is seen overnight - and across nearly a decade, Black Skull has consistently helped create moments with that kind of cultural charge.
Across the BRIT Awards, Black Skull has turned live television into career-defining pop spectacle: from Dua Lipa’s New Rules, a neon-charged statement of female power as she became a global icon, to Kanye West’s explosive 2016 appearance, JADE’s operatic Angel of My Dreams, Rema’s surreal Afrobeats portal, David Guetta’s architectural electronic spectacle, Cat Burns’ fashion-forward intimacy and Emeli Sandé’s stripped emotional precision.
That impact also extends across a wide spectrum of BRITs performances, including Anne-Marie and KSI, Rag’n’Bone Man with P!nk, Chase & Status with Becky Hill, and Lewis Capaldi - each demanding its own distinct physical language, emotional temperature and visual world.
Together, these performances show the range of Black Skull’s creative direction and choreography: intimate when it needs to be, cinematic when the moment demands scale, and always built to make live television feel culturally alive.
