The 2026 BRIT Awards aired today, February 28, from its new venue, Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena. Performers at the ceremony, which was hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall for the sixth year running, included Harry Styles, Rosalía, Olivia Dean, and Raye. Below, watch footage of each performance.

Alex Warren
Introducing the “extraordinary” Alex Warren, Whitehall made a point of contextualizing just how everywhere the singer’s hit “Ordinary” has been this year: 30 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, over 2 billion streams, the U.K.’s longest-running No. 1 hit in a decade, etc. “Ordinary” may be pretty well-worn to the average pop-radio listener, but Warren still did his part attempting to make the ballad a spectacle. Joining Rosalía in the camp of BRITS performers who brought their own full symphonies from home, he belted TikTok’s favorite love song into a standing mic at center stage, while James Blunt accompanied him on grand piano. Warren closed out his number by thanking his beautiful wife; chivalry prevails!
Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami
The trio of voices behind KPop Demon Hunters brought their inescapable song “Golden” to the BRITs, which every child in your life likely knows every word to. Plenty of kids screamed and threw up heart signs in the crowd as Ejae, Nuna, and Ami hit the chorus’ high note. They may have lost International Song of the Year to Bruno Mars and Rosé’s “APT” at the BRITs, but these three have more awards season ground to cover—“Golden” stands to win an Academy Award at next Sunday’s Oscars.
