BRIT Awards winners for 2026 ceremony revealed – Full list
Olivia Dean was one of the big winners of the night, picking up awards in four of the five categories she was nominated in.
This included artist of the year, album of the year, pop act of the year and song of the year for Rein Me In, which she sang with Sam Fender.
Fender himself picked up Alternative and rock act of the year alongside the song award.
Ozzy Osbourne was also recognised with a lifetime achievement award.
The Black Sabbath lead vocalist died in July 2025 at the age of 76, so his wife, Sharon, accepted the award.
Robbie Williams also paid tribute to the ‘Prince of Darkness’ with a rendition of Osbourne’s 1991 track No More Tears, backed by a band including Metallica’s Robert Trujillo and longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde.
There was some controversy though, as Geese drummer Max Bassin was censored for saying “free Palestine, f*** Ice” when collecting the band’s award for international group of the year.
Presenter Jack Whitehall’s joke about Lord Mandelson potentially being in attendance was also removed.
The show took place in Manchester for the first time in its history, with the city’s Co-op Live Arena being the venue.
