The band, fronted by Alexa Chung's boyfriend Alex Turner, are set to play a number of dates in the UK next month, including Wembley Arena on November 17th and Birmingham NIA on November 20th.
However, tonight they will find out if they have won the prize, alongside Best Album for their latest release Humbug and Best Live Act.
For the big Best Act prize, the band face some stiff competition from the likes of Coldplay and Nashville rockers Kings of Leon.
