US EditionBrit Awards to leave London for Manchester after 48 years
- The BRIT Awards will be held outside London for the first time in its 48-year history, with the 2026 ceremony scheduled for February 28 at Co-op Live in Manchester.
- The decision to relocate the event stems from a collaboration involving BPI, Co-op Live, Sony Music, and Manchester-based organizations, all working together to honor the rich and varied musical heritage of the UK.
- Manchester's rich musical legacy, vibrant cultural history, and emerging live arena Co-op Live with a 23,500 capacity provide a fitting new home for the show.
- Jason Iley, CEO of Sony Music UK, stated that relocating the event to Manchester will energize the awards and continue their tradition of honoring and supporting outstanding music talent.
- The move marks a bold new chapter, with the event broadcast on ITV, continuing Mastercard’s headline sponsorship, and supporting youth music education through The BRIT Trust.
