Arctic Monkeys have been handed two nominations for the 2023 Brit Awards – but the iconic Sheffield band’s album The Car misses out.
The list of nominees published this afternoon sees Alex Turner and his bandmates nominated for the categories of best group, and for best alternative / rock.
It comes after the band released their latest album, The Car, in 2022, with the group even producing a special Sheffield dialect translation version of the publicity poster, translated as ‘Car, which was posted on Arundel Gate. But the album is not among the best album nominees.
More than 50 artists are nominated for the 2023 Brit Awards. The winners will be announced at a star-studded ceremony at London's O2 Arena on Saturday 11 February.
