The winners of the 2026 BRIT Awards have been revealed.
Olivia Dean was the big success story of the night, leaving victorious in all four of her nominated categories with awards for Artist Of The Year, Best Pop Act, Album Of The Year and Song Of The Year for her feature on Sam Fender's Rein Me In, the latter of whom also took home the prize for Alternative/Rock Act later in the show.
With the ceremony having taken place in Manchester for the first time, six-time BRIT winner Harry Styles kicked off the show with a choir-accompanied rendition of his chart-topping new single Aperture, serving as a dress rehearsal for his return to the venue later in the week, when he takes over the Co-Op Live once more for his One Night Only album launch show on March 6.
Catalan powerhouse ROSALÍA also took to the stage, receiving a front-to-back standing ovation for her ethereal performance of atmospheric avant-pop track Berghain alongside Björk, before beating out the likes of Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift to pick up the gong for International Artist Of The Year.
Wrapping up a night that saw Fred Again.., Dave, Geese, SAULT, ROSÉ & Bruno Mars, Lola Young and Wolf Alice also add to their trophy cabinets, the night ended with a touching tribute to Lifetime Achievement Award winner Ozzy Osbourne, who died of a cardiac arrest following a battle with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease in July 2025. The segment closed the show with a star-studded performance of Osbourne's No More Tears, fronted by 13-time BRIT winner Robbie Williams alongside former bandmate Adam Wakeman, Metallica's Robert Trujillo, Black Sabbath session drummer Tommy Clufetos and legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde.
Many of the 2026 winners and nominees have shows and tours lined up across the UK, Ireland and beyond over the next 12 months, including Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, Lily Allen, Dave, Tame Impala, PinkPantheress, Bad Bunny, Alex Warren, Pulp, Wolf Alice and ceremony host Jack Whitehall.
