The BRIT Awards 2026 are right around the corner, and will be taking place in Manchester for the first time \u2013 but who will be performing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The huge music awards have been drip-feeding us announcements all year so far ahead of the actual BRITs on Saturday, 28 February.<\/p>\n

With seven names announced to date, it\u2019s already shaping up to be one of the biggest events Manchester has ever seen.<\/p>\n

From the world\u2019s biggest pop stars to a producer who\u2019s worked with the biggest names on the planet, the BRIT Awards<\/a><\/strong> have called upon some serious stars who\u2019ll be performing for the audience here in Manchester.<\/p>\n

Here are all the names that have been announced so far.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s performing at the 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester?<\/h2>\n

1. Harry Styles<\/h3>\n

Harry Styles<\/a><\/strong> will finally be performing at the Co-op Live \u2013 a venue he\u2019s a major investor in \u2013 for the first time this year, thanks to the BRIT Awards.<\/p>\n

The megastar will be performing his new single, \u2018Aperture\u2019, which has broken a years-long drought of new music from the former One Direction singer.<\/p>\n

And given that his upcoming UK tour dates are exclusively in London, this will be a rare chance to see him on home turf\u2026 barring the BRAND NEW \u2018intimate\u2019 show announcement here in Manchester.<\/p>\n

We collectively lost our sh*t.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2. Olivia Dean<\/h3>\n

The first name to be announced as performing at the BRIT Awards was solo singer-songwriting superstar of the moment, Olivia Dean<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll be taking to the stage at the Co-op Live as a Grammy Award-winner too, having taken home the Best New Artist trophy last week. <\/p>\n

Olivia Dean has also announced an unbelievably intimate show in Manchester<\/a>,<\/strong> too, as part of the wider BRITs Week for War Child concert series, performing at the Albert Hall.<\/p>\n

3. Wolf Alice<\/h3>\n

Wolf Alice \u2013 one of the UK\u2019s most celebrated bands \u2013 will be performing at this year\u2019s BRITs, hot off the back of their own headline arena tour, which received serious praise across the board.<\/p>\n

The group are nominated for three awards this year \u2013 \u2018Group of the Year\u2019, \u2018Alternative\/Rock Act\u2019, AND \u2018Mastercard Album of the Year\u2019 for their fourth studio LP, The Clearing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This will be the first time they\u2019ve performed at the Co-op Live<\/a><\/strong>, joining the biggest names in the industry for the BRIT Awards 2026.<\/p>\n

4. Mark Ronson<\/h3>\n

One of the greatest producers of a generation will be getting a double-whammy at the BRIT Awards 2026 \u2013 both a slot to perform, AND the highly coveted \u2018Outstanding Contribution To Music\u2019 award.<\/p>\n

Mark Ronson has created some of the world\u2019s biggest hits with other top artists, including \u2018Uptown Funk\u2019 with Bruno Mars, \u2018Shallow\u2019 with Lady Gaga, and \u2018Back to Black\u2019 with Amy Winehouse. He already has two BRIT Awards and nine Grammys<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 and now he can add a lifetime achievement to that trophy cabinet.<\/p>\n

Ronson said: \u201cThis is the most meaningful honour of my career. I think of the times I\u2019ve watched artists I revere accept this same award. The idea that I\u2019m now standing in that lineage feels impossible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI left England as a kid, but this country runs through everything I\u2019ve made. The UK artists I\u2019ve worked with\u2014their brilliance and refusal to compromise\u2014shaped not just my work but how I understand what music should do. And more than anything, it\u2019s the crowds here who\u2019ve sustained and shown up for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans, the festival crowds, the record buyers and streamers\u2014the love has always been overwhelming. I\u2019m beyond grateful for all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Rosal\u00eda<\/h3>\n

As for the most recent name added to the BRIT Awards\u2019 live music lineup for 2026, that goes to Spanish-speaking and multi-lingual pop superstar, Rosal\u00eda, who also just so happened to deliver one of our favourite albums of the year<\/a><\/strong> this past November.<\/p>\n

The Lux<\/em> singer, still just 33, has seen an incredible rise over the last few years and is understandably huge in Latin American and other Hispanic countries, but her presence continues to grow worldwide, so securing her for a mini Manchester gig at the upcoming ceremony is another real coup for the BPI.<\/p>\n

With this being her BRITs debut following a number one record that saw her speak in 14 different languages, this genre-bending solo artist\u2019s performance will be one watched all over the planet.<\/p>\n
