BRITs Week 26 for War Child, delivered by DHL, has officially expanded its 2026 roster, adding global soul sensation Olivia Dean, space-rock legends Spiritualized, and chart-toppers The K’s to an already massive series of intimate shows.
This year marks a historic shift as The BRIT Awards move to Manchester for the first time. To celebrate, BRITs Week is going nationwide, with performances scheduled across Newcastle, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Brighton, and Manchester.
New Headliners and Exclusive UK Dates
The latest additions bring some of the UK’s most acclaimed talent to intimate venues:
February 18th: Spiritualized take over London’s EartH Theatre.
February 20th: The K’s, fresh from a #1 album, play Manchester’s Gorilla.
February 26th: 5x BRIT nominee Olivia Dean performs a soulful set at the Albert Hall, Manchester.
The first wave of support acts has also been confirmed, featuring Bimini, Max Jones, Saint Raymond, Gabriella Cilmi, and rising R&B star CARI.
Intimate Shows for a Global Cause
Currently, 1 in 5 children globally—over 520 million—are affected by conflict. Proceeds from these shows directly fund War Child’s life-saving work, providing mental health support and education to children in war zones.
The 2026 series kicks off on February 12th in Newcastle with Fatboy Slim, followed by a diverse range of talent including Lambrini Girls in London (Feb 16), Myles Smith in Nottingham (Feb 24), and a collaborative set from Jack Savoretti and Katherine Jenkins OBE (Feb 25).
