Backstage at The Brits 2012: Blur's set, the makeup room and hard hat warnings

It's the BRITs tonight and as you can tell from these pictures the arena's still being constructed. Or at least it that's what it looks like, although we've got no idea when these pictures were taken, but we're going to assume was mere minutes before we got hold of them. Minutes old. If these were Polaroids they wouldn't have even developed yet.

You'll notice there's a big Blur sign in several of the pictures, which most likely means Blur will be playing tonight, but there's also a 'hard hats must be worn in this area' warning floating around the edge of the arena, which we think is a clue to another surprise guest, MEN WITHOUT HATS!

Anyway, we'll be covering the shit, THE SHIT out of this event this evening so do join us for both liveblogging and delayed blogging as well as more galleries than you can poke a stick at.
