The BRIT Awards will return to Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2027 in England, organizers confirmed on Tuesday.
The event will take place on Saturday, February 27, with the ceremony once again broadcasting live on ITV1 and ITVX.
The 2026 edition was also held at the Oak View Group-owned Co-op Live, marking the first time the BRIT Awards had taken place outside of London in its nearly 50-year history.
It was previously held at The O2 Arena (2012-2025), as well as various venues in the capital, including Earl’s Court (1996-2011) and Alexandra Palace (1993-1995).
Stacey Tang, co-president of RCA Records at Sony Music U.K., has been reappointed chair of the 2027 BRITs Committee and will oversee all aspects of the show, including its creative direction.
Tang will lead a committee comprising representatives from major and independent record labels, BRITs TV, and the BPI.
Tang, who featured on Billboard U.K.’s 2026 Power Players list also led the committee for the 2026 ceremony.
The BRITs’ presence in Manchester featured activations across the city, as well as free-to-attend panels and workshops as part of the debut BRITs Fringe.
The news follows a successful BRIT Awards earlier this year, which organizers say delivered the largest global audience in the event’s history.
The show featured performances from Harry Styles and EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI (the voices behind K-Pop Demon Hunters’ HUNTR/X), alongside Mark Ronson, Olivia Dean, Rosalía, RAYE, and Wolf Alice.
Dean collected four awards on the night, including the album of the year for her blockbuster second LP, The Art of Loving.
Other big winners included Noel Gallagher, who was named songwriter of the year, as well as Lola Young, who took home the breakthrough artist prize.
