Pop superstar Harry Styles is set to perform at the BRIT Awards 2026.
The show will mark the first time the international star has performed from his upcoming fourth album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
The BRIT Awards at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Saturday, February 28.
Styles is the second performer confirmed for the night, joining fellow nominee Olivia Dean.
It also marks his return to the BRITs stage three years after his 2023 sweep, where he took home four awards following the release of Harry’s House.
His 2026 performance comes just days before the March 6 release of his new album.
The first single, Aperture, was released last week alongside news of a seven-city residency tour, including a record-breaking 12-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Hosting the ceremony in its new Manchester home will be comedian Jack Whitehall, who returns for his sixth stint as presenter.
The BRITs trophy has been designed by acclaimed Manchester-born designer Matthew Williamson, and is inspired by the city’s roots.
Among this year’s leading nominees are Olivia Dean and Lola Young, each with five nominations, and Sam Fender with four.
This follows Fender’s Mercury Prize win last year.
Other British artists up for awards include Lily Allen, Calvin Harris, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz, and RAYE.
Pulp has also received their first BRIT nomination since 1996.
International nominees include Bad Bunny, ROSALÍA, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tame Impala.
Jacob Alon was recently named the winner of the 2026 BRITs Critics’ Choice award, with Rose Gray and SIENNA SPIRO also shortlisted.
Ahead of the ceremony, the BRITs Fringe programme will take place across Manchester, celebrating the city’s musical heritage and emerging talent.
This marks the BRITs’ official move to Manchester, with the event broadcast live on ITV and ITVX.
The awards are supported by long-term partnerships with Mastercard and ITV, which help raise funds for The BRIT Trust.
