Comedian Mo Gilligan helmed the annual prize ceremony in 2022 and 2023.
He took over from fellow comic Jack Whitehall, who had hosted in 2018 and 2019.
In November Gilligan announced on social media that he would be stepping down from the role.
On Instagram, he said: “I’ve had the most incredible time working on The Brits but unfortunately as I’ll be in the US for my first World Tour next spring, I’m sorry to say that I’ll be stepping down from hosting duties for 2024.”
British artist Raye and pop superstar Dua Lipa have been confirmed to perform during the ceremony.
Raye, 26, real name Rachel Keen, made history as the most nominated artist in one year, earning seven nods including the coveted album of the year prize for her studio debut, My 21st Century Blues.
The public can vote for their favourite artist in categories including best R&B act, pop act and dance act.
The British Phonographic Industry’s annual music awards will air on Saturday March 2 at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
