The BRIT Awards has revealed the date for the 2027 show, as it returns to Manchester’s Co-op Live for the second year.
It follows a well-received first ever edition of the BRITs staged outside of the capital earlier this year.
Next year’s show will take place on Saturday, February 27, screened on ITV1 and ITVX in a prime-time weekend slot. The ceremony will be celebrating 50 years since the very first BRIT Awards was televised.
Stacey Tang, co-president of RCA Records at Sony Music UK, will chair the BRITs Committee and oversee all aspects of the 2027 show, including the creative direction. She will be supported by the BRITs committee, which is made up of representatives from the UK major and independent record labels, BRITs TV and the BPI.
This year’s BRIT Awards delivered its biggest global audience ever and record-breaking social reach, at a time when UK artists are seeing global export success.
The performance line-up includes Harry Styles, Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, the singing voices of Huntr/x, Mark Ronson, Olivia Dean, Rosalía, Raye and Wolf Alice.
The BRITs also took over Manchester in the weeks leading up to the show, through a city-wide cultural programme and the first ever BRITs Fringe. Meanwhile, a record-breaking BRITs Week for War Child featured Robbie Williams, Olivia Dean, Jacob Alon, Myles Smith and Lambrini Girls all taking to various venue stages to help raise £1.16million for War Child.

There was such an incredible energy around the 2026 show – across the city, the industry and with fans everywhere. I’m excited to build on that global success alongside a brilliant team, pushing the show creatively and continuing to celebrate the artists, the culture and the communities that make British music what it is.”
BPI CEO Dr Jo Twist OBE said: “Following the record-breaking success of this year’s show in Manchester, we can’t wait to return to the Co-op Live to continue celebrating and championing music and creativity to a global audience, from a city with a great heritage that has truly welcomed and embraced us with open arms. We look forward to further developing our cultural impact across the UK and in Manchester itself around next year’s show.”
Councillor Bev Craig, leader of Manchester City Council, said: "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."
Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment, reality & daytime, ITV, said: "The BRIT Awards is exactly the kind of event television ITV does best - live, ambitious, packed with unforgettable performances and cultural moments that bring audiences together across ITV, ITVX and our wider digital platforms. We’re delighted to continue our partnership with the BPI to bring one of the most important nights in the UK entertainment calendar to audiences, making it available to everyone, wherever and however they choose to watch."
