Dua Lipa made a surprise appearance she and Harry Styles led the performances at the BRIT Awards 2026 at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday evening.
The songstress, 30, took to the stage during a star-studded celebration in honour of producer Marc Ronson and was lowered onto the stage via a huge disco ball.
Dua looked nothing short of incredible as she first entered in a furry jacket before removing it to reveal a skimpy black playsuit and knee high boots.
The stunner performed Dance The Night By Barbie, while fellow musicians played a number of Marc’s other tracks, including paying tribute to the late Amy Winehouse.
Meanwhile Harry, 32, send fans wild as he made his first red carpet appearance and much anticipated return to the stage following a three year career break.
Oozing confidence he cut a stylish figure, swapping his usual sequinned stage outfits for a subdued shirt and tie for very memorable routine.
Joined by a huge group of dancers he strutted his stuff energetically in a perfectly choreographed routine, complete with spirit fingers.
Fans rushed to social media, gushing: ‘He is so back!’: ‘That Harry Styles BRITs performance was GENUINELY incredible we are so back !!!!’: ‘HARRY STYLES ATE SO HARD’: ‘I just love harry styles’: ‘HARRY STYLES IS BAAAAAACK’: ‘
‘That was an EXTRAORDINARY performance from Harry Styles! The dancing, the dancers, the hands shaking, the gospel singers! He really levelled up and got a standing, screaming ovation from the audience! So unbelievably proud’.
Hitting the red carpet earlier in the evening, Harry wore his stage outfit but completed the suit with a double breasted blazer.
Later Olivia Dean, fresh off her win for Best Song Of the Year for her and Sam Fender’s Rein It In, to perform her solo track Man I Need.
The stunner, 26, sizzled in a sequinned mini dress and oozed old fashioned glamour as she showed off her incredible vocals.
Following her record breaking six awards at the 2024 ceremony, Raye was back and received a standing ovation from the Manchester audience.
She looked gorgeous in an embroidered gown with flowing train as she entertained the crowd with Where’s My Husband and her new release Nightingale Lane.
The heartbreak ballad is from the British singer’s forthcoming album, titled This Music May Contain Hope, slated for release on March 27.
Meanwhile Icelandic icon Bjork, 60, made a surprise appearance during Rosalia’s performance as she was welcomed to the stage by the Spanish songstress for a rendition of their song Berghain.
Bjork ensured all eyes were on her in a blue sculpted futuristic gown which she wore with an equally dramatic black headpiece.
Her dark locks were worn in buns, with dramatic make-up, while Rosalia opted for a simple white dress as she jumped about the stage during the engertic set.
Host Jack Whitehall described their perfomance, which included both opera and techno as a mix of ‘Last Night Of The Proms’ and ‘Pacha in Ibiza’.
To close the show Sharon Osbourne and daughter Kelly made a heartfelt speech in honour of the late Ozzy as he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The pair were introduced to the stage by Dolly Parton, who appeared in a pre-recorded message from Nashville, ahead of Robbie Williams‘ performance with members of Ozzy’s band.
The Black Sabbath frontman died in July last year aged 76 just two weeks after performing a farewell concert in his hometown of Birmingham.
Sharon lovingly described her late husband as ‘The most humble egomaniac you could ever meet’ as Kelly stood supportively beside her.
The former X factor judge told the crowd: ‘I’m honoured to accept this award from my gorgeous husband, this Lifetime Achievement Award. God knows, I wish he was here to accept it himself.’
She went on to say that she knew her late husband would be looking down on them and how he hated speeches, but she couldn’t help but ‘waffle on’ as she regaled the audience with tales of Ozzy’s achievements.
‘He came from a small working class neighbourhood in Birmingham. He rose to become one of the most recognisable and respected musicians of his life, and he was filled with extraordinarily wonderful high times but very, very real low times.
‘But he never stopped tirelessly pushing himself to do better. He always wanted to do better both personally and professionally’.
She went on: ‘We spent most of our lives touring the world. But Ozzy’s heart never left England. Wherever we were in the world, he was always proud to be that working class Brummie, and he never let anyone forget it’.
Sharon said that she was accepting the award not only for Ozzy but also his ‘incredible family’ his fellow musicians who helped him along the away, as well as fans who lined the streets of Birmingham during his memorial.
‘If Ozzy was here tonight with us, he would be showing us that gorgeous smile that he had and I know he would be so proud to receive this from the country that he loved. So he may not be here, but he left us one amazing body of work that will never be forgotten by the country that made him.’
Taking the microphone an emotional Kelly said: ‘Thank you for loving my father as much as we do.’
Before quipping: ‘And I hope I don’t disrespect Manchester by saying this. But up the villa and Birmingham’ as she threw her support behind her father’s beloved football team.
Following playful boos from the Manchester crowd, Sharon laughed: ‘knew you were gonna get that. I told you’.
Then Robbie was then introduced to the stage as he fronted the supergroup alongside Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde for one night only to close the show.
After a poignant rendition of Ozzy’s hit No More Tears, fans gushed: ‘Robbie doing a tribute to Ozzy, great end to the ceremony!’: ‘What a fitting ending to the Brits awards to the one and only Ozzy Osbourne Prince Of Darkness’: ‘I was thinking ‘Robbie sings Ozzy? This should be a laugh’ but tbf he’s smashing it, fair play lad.’
