2026 BRIT Awards: Performances & Winners – Harry Styles, Raye & More

Olivia Dean dominated the 2026 BRIT Awards, held on February 28 at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, securing both the Artist of the Year and Album of the Year awards. The ceremony, hosted for a sixth consecutive year by comedian Jack Whitehall, also featured performances by Harry Styles, Rosalía, and Raye.

Dean’s impressive haul included four trophies solidifying her position as a leading figure in British music. Prior to the televised event, PinkPantheress was recognized as the Producer of the Year, a first for a female artist and marking the youngest-ever recipient of the honor.

Singer Alex Warren delivered a performance of his hit song “Ordinary,” accompanied by James Blunt on piano. Whitehall highlighted the song’s success, noting its 30 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and over 2 billion streams, as well as its status as the U.K.’s longest-running number one hit in a decade. Warren concluded his performance with a dedication to his wife.

The KPop group comprised of Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, known as KPop Demon Hunters, performed their song “Golden.” The performance drew enthusiastic reactions from the audience, with fans displaying heart signs. While they did not win the International Song of the Year award – which went to Bruno Mars and Rosé for “APT” – “Golden” remains a contender for an Academy Award at the upcoming Oscars ceremony.

The BRIT Awards showcased a diverse lineup of performers, with Harry Styles, Rosalía, and Björk also taking to the stage, according to reports.
