We’re not saying that the Brit Awards aren’t a laugh, but everyone in the industry knows the after parties are where it’s really at.
After the red carpet (fun), dinner (pretty fancy) and actual awards show (a bit long), the real fun starts when the celebs are whisked off to various exclusive parties around London.
The main three are held by record labels Warner, Sony and Universal and it’s not just stars of the music world who attend, as they’re often joined by familiar faces from reality TV, and Radio 1′s entire roster pops up too.

We've got a lot of time for an indie kid on the rise getting into one of the best parties and (presumably) absolutely hammering a free bar.
