In 2027, the BRITs will be returning to Manchester’s Co-op Live venue once again, and will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX.

Now, it’s been revealed that next year’s ceremony will take place on Saturday, February 27. It will also mark 50 years since the very first BRIT Awards were televised, back in 1977.

Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council, said of the show’s return to the city: “This year’s BRIT Awards in Manchester were a huge success with a global reach and massive local impact, and we’re excited and ready to help make 2027 the biggest year yet for The BRITs!

“The impact of the awards was felt across the city region, from the cash benefit for our economy, showcasing small local music venues, incredible opportunities for our up-and-coming young musicians and creatives, and engagement with Greater Manchester schools – and we’ll be creating even more ways for them, for local people across GM and for visitors to get involved in next year’s awards, which look set to be another incredible celebration of music and our city,” Craig added.

Stacey Tang, Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK and 2027 BRIT Committee Chair added: “It’s a real privilege to return as Chair and to be back in Manchester for a second year. There was such an incredible energy around the 2026 show – across the city, the industry and with fans everywhere. I’m excited to build on that global success alongside a brilliant team, pushing the show creatively and continuing to celebrate the artists, the culture and the communities that make British music what it is.”
