Following the Grammy Awards and our traditional Victoires de la Musique, another major music event is set to make headlines this winter: the Brit Awards. Celebrating the best of British musical talent, the ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026, in Manchester. Notably, this will be the first time the Brit Awards are held outside London.
This year, the Brit Awards will showcase a lineup of talented artists vying for recognition, including Lily Allen, Olivia Dean, Dave, Sam Fender, Wolf Alice, Lola Young, Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Lewis Capaldi, The Last Dinner Party, Pulp, Wet Leg, and Sleep Token.
This 46th edition of the Brit Awards will also feature a series of live performances. While the full lineup hasn't been announced yet, the event will provide the debut of live sets by artists including Olivia Dean, who was crowned Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards. It’s worth noting that this talented British singer-songwriter, who is also set to perform in Paris soon, is currently working on her second album, titled "The Art of Loving."
The Brit Awards will also feature the alternative rock band Wolf Alice, known for their recent hits "The Sofa" and "White Horses."
Another confirmed name to put on a show on February 28th in Manchester for the Brit Awards 2026? Harry Styles! "He will perform for the first time songs from his new album, ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally,’ marking his first live television appearance," announced the organizers. Remember that Harry Styles is set to release his new album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, on March 6, 2026. This will be his fourth solo record, following Harry Styles in 2017, Fine Line in 2019, and Harry's House in 2022. The singer recently announced a worldwide tour scheduled for 2026, with at least 30 dates at Madison Square Garden in New York. In Europe, shows are lined up in London and Amsterdam. Unfortunately, nothing is planned yet for Paris.
In the coming days, this list of artists set to perform live at the Brit Awards 2026 is expected to grow. Stay tuned for the latest updates!
