The road to the 2026 BRIT Awards just got a lot more legendary. BRITs Week 26 for War Child, Delivered by DHL, has officially added pop icon Robbie Williams to its most ambitious lineup yet. On February 27, the 18-time BRIT Award winner will take over Aviva Studios in Manchester for a high-octane set featuring hits from his debut Life Thru A Lens and his recent history-making #1 album, BRITPOP.
A Historic Homecoming in Manchester
For the first time in nearly 50 years, the BRIT Awards are leaving London to make Manchester their home. Mirroring this move, BRITs Week is expanding its reach further than ever, with exclusive shows scheduled in Newcastle, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Brighton, and London.
Robbie’s addition comes at a peak in his career; he recently secured his 16th UK Number 1 album with BRITPOP, officially breaking the record for the artist with the most UK chart-toppers. Joined by indie favorites Lottery Winners, his Manchester performance serves as the ultimate finale to the week-long celebration.
Music with a Mission
While the atmosphere is celebratory, the cause is urgent. Currently, 1 in 5 children globally—over 520 million—are affected by conflict. All proceeds from BRITs Week go directly to War Child, providing life-saving aid, mental health support, and education to children caught in the crossfire of war. By attending these intimate shows, fans aren't just seeing their favorite artists; they are helping to rebuild lives.
