Madonna announced today on her Instagram that she will be attending the 2015 BRIT Awards on February 25th!

Brits chairman Max Lousada said that they were “delighted” to bring Madonna back to the awards…

She’s an icon, an innovator and, above all, an entertainer. Having her as part of the show will guarantee an unforgettable night of music.

Madonna has won two Brits, the first in 2001 and the second in 2006, both for best international female. Her last appearance at the Brits was in 1995, when she performed Bedtime Stories while dressed in white and accompanied by a wind machine.
