BRITs Week 26, delivered by DHL for War Child, continued in Manchester with Olivia Dean taking over a candle-lit Albert Hall, delivering a commanding set that had the audience completely absorbed in every song.
Nominated for five awards at this year’s BRIT Awards, including Mastercard Album of the Year and Artist of the Year, Olivia will also be performing at the Co-op Live on Saturday.
She moved effortlessly through fan favourites ‘Dive’ and ‘The Hardest Part’ from her debut album Messy, as well playing hits such as ‘So Easy (To Fall In Love)’ and ‘Man I Need’ off of her sophomore record The Art of Living. It was this album that propelled her over the past year into a global force, cementing her status as one of pop’s brightest stars.
Support on the night came from rising-star Nectar Woode, who finished her performance with new single ‘Lights Off’.
The 2026 series completes tonight, February 27th, as musicians take over stages in Edinburgh and Manchester with performances from Jacob Alon Music Hall at Assembly Rooms and Robbie Williams at Aviva.
BRITs Week 26, delivered by DHL for War Child gives fans the unforgettable opportunity to see intimate, one-off performances from some of the biggest and most exciting names in music at some of the UK’s best venues.
BRITs Week is taking place around The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard on Saturday, 28th February in Manchester. With the awards leaving the capital for the first time in its nearly 50-year history, BRITs Week 26 is expanding into a new era with artists playing in Newcastle, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Brighton and Manchester, giving more fans across the country the chance to see their favourite artists in the lead-up to the UK's biggest night in music.
All proceeds from the shows go towards War Child’s essential work providing aid, education, specialist mental health support, and more while standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been devastatingly affected by war. Right now, it’s the deadliest time in history to be a child. 1 in 5 children globally (over 520 million) are currently affected by war. But there is hope. With support from music fans, War Child can help children put the pieces back together. By joining the charity for the intimate, one-off performances of some of their favourite artists, fans will be directly contributing to help War Child rebuild children’s lives.
