Brit Awards 2005
Radio 1 at Brits25: The backstage area
Last updated 09 February 2005

Scissor Sisters

It's the Brits tonight (Wednesday) and Radio 1 has already has a sneaky look backstage.

There is a bar with its own restaurant, comfy black and chrome seats, black drapes and plasma screens. There is also a table football, air hockey and pool table to stop performers getting bored.

Next to the dressing rooms there's a room for hair styling, a nail bar and a massage room with scented candles.

Jake from Scissor Sisters was wandering around almost unrecognisable in normal clothes.

Jamelia's dressing room is next to Lemar's, they're doing a duet together but insisted on a closed set for their run through yesterday.

Robbie Williams also insisted on a closed set last night and rumours are that he's going to perform with Joss Stone.

Franz Ferdinand's dressing room is next to The Streets and Snoop is next to Daniel Bedingfield. Green Day are next to Matt Lucas and David Walliams who'll be handing out an award on the night - rumour has it they'll be dressed as ladies.

The stage has drapes either side of the stage and two massive video screens.

Last night Snoop and Pharrell were doing their run through, they enter the stage through a stone effect fortress gate with grey doors. Snoop comes on to 'What's my Name', then Pharrell comes in and they perform 'Drop it Like it's Hot' flanked by 20 dancers.

Gwen Stefani's set is much like her video with massive toadstools and a revolving decks of cards. While The Scissor Sisters set has been designed by the people behind the Muppets, complete with a massive pink fluffy bird, pink fur everywhere and khaki safari hats.
