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

Yay shawn and Bez

Isn't that what the Brits is about, though? Giving you the unexpected.

Sorry, a bit behind. Already marvelling at how Jack Whitehall gets away with what he says.

Bez and Shaun !

Love them. Fab hat.

Putting it out there - reckon Liam will present Noel with his award.

Woooooooooolf Alice.

YAY!! Wolf Alice.

I am very pleased with that.

Bumped into Bez on Market St a few years ago, what a lovely man.

Much as I love Last Dinner Party I think Wolf Alice is a good result.

Reading her speech off her phone, modern times

Ah wish Pulp had won, just to see if Jarvis would allowed back yet!

Not a fan of seeing a naked woman stood there with a group of fully clothed men.

I know!

The only category where I saw a tough choice.

Love this - I donate to a grassroots venue charity so many are closing

She has a dress on!

It looks awful

Haha he could come on, waft his arse at someone then get rescued by Bob M.. good times

Yes, we’ve sadly had a fantastic one close locally in the last week.

So many ads. Used the BBC show them?

Love that they’ve brought out Shaun and Bez. I hope they pay tribute to Mani at some point tonight.

My son played one in Manchester and one in Sheffield that have now closed.

Nah... Not for a million years.
Agree with Wolf Alice's speech... But just say it, don't read it!

The Brits I mean not ads!

Rowetta has been posting on Twitter to see if she can get tickets for Mani’s kids so they can see the tribute so I assume that it’s during this.

The singer he plays for has been shortlisted for Tramlines - it’s a public vote so fingers crossed.
