In 2027, the BRITs will be returning to Manchester’s Co-op Live venue once again, and will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX.
This year’s BRIT Awards saw the show head to Manchester for the first time ever – marking the first time the ceremony has taken place outside of London in its nearly 50-year history. Watch onInstagram
Now, it’s been revealed that next year’s ceremony will take place on Saturday, February 27. It will also mark 50 years since the very first BRIT Awards were televised, back in 1977.
Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council, said of the show’s return to the city: “This year’s BRIT Awards in Manchester were a huge success with a global reach and massive local impact, and we’re excited and ready to help make 2027 the biggest year yet for The BRITs!
“The impact of the awards was felt across the city region, from the cash benefit for our economy, showcasing small local music venues, incredible opportunities for our up-and-coming young musicians and creatives, and engagement with Greater Manchester schools – and we’ll be creating even more ways for them, for local people across GM and for visitors to get involved in next year’s awards, which look set to be another incredible celebration of music and our city,” Craig added.
This year’s BRITs saw Jack Whitehall return to host for the sixth time, while performances on the night came from Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, HUNTR/X’s EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, Wolf Alice, Mark Ronson, Alex Warren, Sombr, RAYE, and Rosalía – the latter of which brought out Björk as a special guest.
Noel Gallagher was named as Songwriter of the Year, PinkPantheress was Producer Of The Year, and Ozzy Osbourne was honoured with the BRITs Lifetime Achievement Award following his passing last summer.
