Olivia Dean, Lambrini Girls, Fatboy Slim and Myles Smith are putting on shows across the UK in the lead up to the BRIT Awards 2026

The countdown to the BRITs 2026 is on. The nominees have been announced and the performers are starting to be revealed. This year’s awards, which are taking place in Manchester for the first time ever, will feature sets from people that put out some of the best music in 2025, including Rosaliá and Wolf Alice, as well Harry Styles’ first live performance of his latest single.
But before all of that, we’ve got BRITs Week to look forward to. BRITs Week is a series of gigs that take place across Britain in the lead up to the main event, with proceeds going towards War Child UK. Eleven intimate one-off shows have been planned.
There’s one from the now Grammy award-winning Olivia Dean, one from last year’s BRITs Rising Star Myles Smith, another from Mercury Prize shortlisted artist (and BRITs Critics Choice Award winner) Jacob Alon and many, many more. Here’s everything you need to know about BRITs Week 2026 and how to get tickets.
It’s actually quite a bit longer than a week. The event will kick off on February 12 and last just over a fortnight until February 27 (the day before the BRIT Awards 2026 take place).
BRITs Week will be spread across small and grassroots music venues in six different UK cities. There’ll be gigs in Newcastle, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Brighton and Edinburgh.
Many of the tickets for the BRITs Week shows, including Olivia Dean, Lambrini Girls and Spiritualized, all now all sold out.
However, fans still have a chance to get their hands on tickets through a prize draw, which you can enter here. Single entries cost £10 and all the money raised will go towards War Child.
There are still tickets available to buy for Jack Savoretti and Katharine Jenkins in London, for Rossi. in Manchester and for Jacob Alon in Edinburgh.
