\n\tThe BRIT Awards took place in Manchester on Saturday (Feb. 28), the first time that the ceremony had been held outside of London in its nearly-five decade history.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe city of Manchester has relished the role of hosting the awards, not least because of the vibrant music scene and performers that dominated pubs, clubs and bars across the Northern capital.<\/p>\n

\n\t2026\u2019s BRITs ceremony looked to meet the challenge and put on as compelling a show as possible with a stacked lineup of local and international talent. Its Saturday night broadcast slot on ITV (and YouTube) meant that acts certainly brought their A-game.<\/p>\n

\n\tHarry Styles<\/a> gave his first live performance since 2023 to open the show, kicking off a comeback that is set to continue in the live sphere throughout the year. He\u2019ll play a seven-city residency, including a record-breaking 12-night stand at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

\n\tA number of acts made their BRITs debuts, with Alex Warren<\/a>, Sombr<\/a> and Rosal\u00eda<\/a> attending and performing for the first time (though only the latter came home with a trophy). Olivia Dean<\/a>, the night\u2019s big winner, also hit the BRITs stage for the first time, and looked like a seasoned pro.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the Grammys, the night hosted a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>, who died in July 2025. This time, Robbie Williams took on vocal duties with a number of Ozzy\u2019s former bandmates on hand.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll in, it made for a diverse and engaging lineup of performers throughout the three-hour ceremony \u2013 and these are the Billboard<\/em>\u2018s rankings.<\/p>\n
