The 2026 Brit Awards marks a big year for the awards show.
Not only are some of the biggest names in music up for awards – with Lola Young and Olivia Dean leading the way, and Sam Fender, Lily Allen, Dave, Wolf Alice and Raye battling it out in some of the night’s top categories – it also marks the first time since the Brits launched in the late 1970s that the ceremony is taking place outside London.
On Saturday night, the red carpet was rolled out at Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena, ahead of the star-studded nominees’ arrivals.
But as well as the nominated artists from both the UK and beyond to look out for, there are also some impressive A-list performers on the bill, including Harry Styles and Robbie Williams.
Take a look at all the red carpet photos you need to see from this year’s Brit Awards below – and make sure you keep checking back, as we’ll be updating our list as more stars make their arrivals…
