Harry Styles will perform at the 2026 BRIT Awards ceremony, marking his first live performance in almost three years.
The former One Direction member will take to the stage at Manchester's Co-op Live on February 28.
Styles, from Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, will join fellow singer Olivia Dean at the ceremony, which is being held in Manchester for the first time in its nearly 50-year-long history.
The performance presented the 31-year-old's last show at the Brits in 2023, which saw him take home four awards, including album of the year for Harry’s House. His final performance on the global Love On Tour run took place in Bologna, Italy, in July 2023.
The week following the ceremony, Styles will release his fourth studio album, "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," due March 6.
He released his first single, “Aperture” from the LP, on January 22, and teased that the album was “meant to be listened to loud.”
Styles will also embark on his "Together Together" global residency in Amsterdam on May 17.
He will perform in Amsterdam, London, Mexico City, São Paolo, New York and Melbourne, before the tour wraps in Sydney on December 13. Styles will also present an award at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The singer also announced on Wednesday two additional nights at London’s Wembley Stadium to take his run of shows to a total of 12.
The move breaks a record previously held by Coldplay for most shows in a calendar year; the British group achieved a 10-show stand back in 2024 for the band’s Music of the Spheres jaunt.
He also topples the record set by Taylor Swift for shows by a solo artist, with the 14-time Grammy winner performing eight shows at Wembley on her Eras Tour in 2024.
The nominations for the BRIT Awards were announced on January 21, with Olivia Dean and Lola Young both leading the pack with five nominations each, with Sam Fender placed on four.
Additional performers will be announced for the ceremony, which is taking place outside of London for the first time in its history.
