Following the phenomenal show at Manchester’s Co-op Live earlier this year, it's now been announced The BRIT Awards will return to the city for a second year running, with the all-important date now confirmed.

The 2027 show, which will see the ceremony celebrating 50 years since the very first BRIT Awards was televised, will take place on Saturday 27th February.

Stacey Tang, Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK and 2027 BRIT Committee Chair commented: “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.”

BPI CEO Dr. Jo Twist OBE commented: “Following the record-breaking success of this year’s show in Manchester, we can’t wait to return to the Co-op Live to continue celebrating and championing music and creativity to a global audience, from a city with a great heritage that has truly welcomed and embraced us with open arms. We look forward to further developing our cultural impact across the UK and in Manchester itself around next year’s show.”

Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council, said: "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."

Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment, Reality & Daytime, ITV said, "The BRIT Awards is exactly the kind of event television ITV does best - live, ambitious, packed with unforgettable performances and cultural moments that bring audiences together across ITV, ITVX and our wider digital platforms. We’re delighted to continue our partnership with the BPI to bring one of the most important nights in the UK entertainment calendar to audiences, making it available to everyone, wherever and however they choose to watch."
