Brit Awards move to Manchester from next year

The Brit Awards are to be held in Manchester for the first time in the history of the ceremony, it has been announced. The biggest night of the UK music industry calendar has been held in London for the past four decades but will move to the Manchester Co-op Live arena in 2026 and 2027. The 2026 ceremony on Saturday February 28 will be broadcast exclusively on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester said: 'For the Brit Awards to move out of London is a massive coup for Greater Manchester. 'After 48 years, it is great that this prestigious global event is about to arrive in the UK capital of music and culture. 'Greater Manchester has an unparalleled music heritage known around the world, and this summer will play host to some of the biggest gigs on the planet. 'That was only made possible by our strong commitment to new talent and giving emerging artists the opportunities to make their name. 'We thank our friends at the BPI for choosing Manchester and we will pull out all the stops to show they made the right decision. 'Celebrating the Brit Awards right here in the home of 24 hour party people is the next chapter in its story and you can be sure that we will help them do it in style.' The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is the trade body for the UK's music industry. Next year's Brit Awards will be the first of three years under the stewardship of Sony Music UK, which spearheaded the move to Manchester. Jason Iley, chairman and chief executive of Sony Music UK & Ireland said: 'This is a very exciting time for The Brit Awards. 'Moving to Manchester, the home of some of the most iconic and defining artists of our lifetime, will invigorate the show and build on the Brits' legacy of celebrating and reinvesting in world-class music. 'Hosting the show in Manchester, with its vibrant cultural history, perfectly captures the spirit and energy of the Brit Awards. 'I can't wait to see the show at the amazing state-of-the art Co-op Live venue.' Mastercard will continue their long-standing headline sponsorship, now in its 28th year. Charli XCX was the stand-out star at this year's Brit Awards at London's O2 Arena, taking home five awards including album of the year for her sixth studio release, Brat. US pop star Sabrina Carpenter was the recipient of the global success award, while former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall collected the best pop act award.

Gallagher brothers and tributes provide ready-made Fringe excuse

Definitely Oasis The 2025 Edinburgh Fringe programme officially hit the streets this week. Although the online programme has been live for a couple of months, the print version is available to pick up from a number of venues and it's the usual bumper offering. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Over 3500 shows in 265 venues across the city in a brochure the size of the old Yellow Pages. It's really difficult for punters to choose what to see so over the next two months, I'll be recommending some comedy highlights as well as shamelessly plugging my own show. The second weekend of this year's Fringe will undoubtedly see a drop-off in sales due to the Oasis gigs at Murrayfield. While this is unlikely to have much impact on local people buying tickets for Fringe shows, it will almost certainly lead to fewer weekend visitors to the Festival, as hotel prices are going to go through the roof. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad People from down south or overseas will simply choose to come to Edinburgh on one of the other weekends in August. On the plus side, it will give performers a ready-made explanation for playing to quarter-full rooms. Seasoned Fringe regulars already have a catalogue of excuses which they regularly trot out, such as: 'The first weekend is never busy, everyone knows the Fringe doesn't start until week two'; 'The weather was too nice, nobody wants to see a show indoors when they can be drinking outside in the Grassmarket'; or, 'The weather was awful, nobody wants to take flyers when it's raining'. So, this year they can add: 'I only had six people in tonight. But what what can you expect? That's 'cos of Oasis.' The Gallagher brothers will themselves have competition from the other side of the carpark at Murrayfield. Tickets are now on sale, priced at only ten quid, for gigs by tribute band Definitely Oasis at The Rink Bar in the the ice rink next door to the stadium. That sounds much better value than seeing the real guys. And it wouldn't surprise if they're actually better than Noel and Liam. And it's yet another comedians' excuse for playing to a meagre handful of punters – 'I only had three men and a dog tonight, but there's that Oasis tribute band playing up the road.'
