The BRIT Awards- 2026. Saturday 28th *20.15*

[Raahh]

As promised on the TMS thread, here is the Brits thread, to discuss the ceremony as it unfolds. Hosted again by Jack Whitehall.

It's a long one, folks.

And for those who don't live here, it's in Manchester (and they have been making a big deal of this), at the Co-op Arena . Harry Styles is performing (he's a Co-op Arena shareholder )

Other performers include SOMBR and RAYE- and others who use a lot of capital letters.

So- join me, to discuss the dodgy outfits, iffy singing, and reminisce about 'back in the day' .

The Nominees

Yes the way they were all over the place made it hard to read for astigmatism people!

I went to see Robbie last year. Loved it. I love his new album too

I don’t mind Robbie. I have a soft spot for him, despite it all. You have to keep the faith with him.

Pictures would have been much better.

He’s great. He used to be hilarious on Twitter

I thought it was great

I love Mani and the Roses, but Brian Wilson and Sly Stone died in the past year so I was somewhat surprised Mani’s name was front and centre (and we didn’t hear Thankufalletinmebemiceelf)

Awww Little James Blunt! A living lesson in humility. Good egg.

His Twitter is hilarious.

Recorded it earlier and have just got to Rosalia. Enjoying it for the most part.

Angry Ginge's comment! 😂

No!!! How have I got to 53 years old, proper indie kid, and didn't know that?!

Shocking that Olivia Dean won that over Sam Fender? Bizarre.

Back to Bedlam isn’t a bad album.
I always think of Uncle Bryn when they mention him.

Yes! 😂😂

Tis the Brits

I was slightly worried about that brit award snapping off at the head with Olivia dean waving it around!

I agree with others, more photos were needed. Mani is a Manchester legend so with it being held there, I’d expected more of him. I know there’s a tribute later, but just flashing up Ozzy’s name felt remiss too.

Wolf Alice are very dreary.

He was. Must have been added hastily.

He died yesterday didn’t he?

Wolf Alice is a massive snoozefest to me. A Radio 1 favourite but it’s all so blah. Nobody will remember this song next year let alone in 10 years time.

Most people only find a couple of pound coins down the sofa. Not this lass

Yeah I only saw it this morning soz

Why is she boring on about her sofa?
