Klaxons Plan 'Absolutely Massive' Brits Collaboration

Klaxons are planning an “absolutely massive” collaboration at the Brit Awards next month.

The acclaimed outfit are up for two awards – Best Breakthrough and Best Live Act – at the Earls Court ceremony on February 20 and aim to mark the occasion with something special.

Speaking to Radio 1, the band said: “We're doing something absolutely massive, something ridiculous.  It's a large collaboration, something really big. It's the most surreal collaboration. The plan is in place."

Asked whether it will be a British artist, they confirmed it will be someone home-grown. Also performing on the night are Kylie Minogue, Mark (yawn) Ronson and Kaiser (argh!) Chiefs.
