11 of the 12 Mercury Prize nominees are performing at the final ceremony

Pop superstar Ed has had a massive year, headlining Glastonbury Festival and having an album so successful it forced a shake-up of the UK charts, but "touring commitments" mean he can't make next month's Mercury bash.

Not to worry though, as Glass Animals, Stormzy, Sampha, The xx, The Big Moon, Kate Tempest, Loyle Carner, Dinosaur, Blossoms, and alt-J will all be plying their wares on stage.
