Mark Ronson has joined the performer line-up for the upcoming BRIT Awards.
The multi-award-winning musician, producer and DJ will not only perform at Manchester's Co-op Live on February 28, he's also been announced as the recipient of the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. He said:
“This is the most meaningful honor of my career. I think of the times I've watched artists I revere accept this same award. The idea that I'm now standing in that lineage feels impossible. I left England as a kid, but this country runs through everything I've made. The UK artists I've worked with—their brilliance and refusal to compromise—shaped not just my work but how I understand what music should do.
"And more than anything, it's the crowds here who've sustained and showed up for me. The fans, the festival crowds, the record buyers and streamers—the love has always been overwhelming. I'm beyond grateful for all of it.”
Stacey Tang, Chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK added: "Mark’s creative influence spans every corner of contemporary culture. He has shaped the musical landscape globally with incredible albums, his own artist releases as well as those in collaboration with phenomenal talents he has discovered and nurtured. Mark has an extraordinary ability to elevate each project he works on. This award recognises his huge contribution to British music’s global story and cements his place as one of the most innovative creators of our time.”
Also set to perform at this year's awards ceremony are recent Grammy winner Olivia Dean, Wolf Alice and Harry Styles.
The nominations for this year's awards were revealed in January, with Dean and Lola Young out in front with five nods apiece. It was also previously announced that Jacob Alon won the BRITs Critics' Choice award.
2026 marks the first time the BRITS has been held outside of London. It will be broadcast live on ITV and ITVX, with comedian and actor Jack Whitehall hosting.
In related news, Dean, Alon, Fatboy Slim, Lambrini Girls, Myles Smith, Jack Savoretti and Katherine Jenkins, kwn, Josh Baker, and Rossi are among the acts set to play intimate gigs in February for BRITs Week for War Child. Head here for more details.
