Harry Styles will perform at the 2026 BRIT Awards, marking his first live performance in almost three years.
The former One Direction member will appear at the show held at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena on Feb. 28. Styles is a minority partner in the venue operated by the Oak View Group.
Styles is the second artist announced to perform live at the ceremony, following Olivia Dean. He last performed at the BRIT Awards back in 2023, during which he collected four awards, including album of the year for Harry’s House. His final performance on global Love On Tour run took place in Bologna, Italy, in July 2023.
It’s the latest move to be announced as he marks his musical comeback. The week following The BRITs, 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 Jan. 22, and teased that the album was “meant to be listened to loud.”
He also shared news of his Together Together global residency, which kicks off on May 17 in Amsterdam. Styles will perform in Amsterdam, London, Mexico City, São Paolo, New York and Melbourne, before the tour wraps in Sydney on Dec. 13. On Sunday (Feb. 1), Styles will present an award at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
Styles also shared news on Wednesday (Jan. 28) of 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 Jan. 21, with Olivia Dean and Lola Young both leading the pack with five nominations each, with Sam Fender placed on four. Further performers will be announced for the ceremony, which is taking place outside of London for the first time in its history.
