BRITs Week 26, for War Child

Delivered by DHL. The biggest artists play their smallest shows to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children living through war.

BRITs Week will take place around The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard on Saturday, 28th February in Manchester. With the awards leaving the capital for the first time in its nearly 50-year history, BRITs Week '26 is expanding into a new era with artists playing in more cities across the UK than ever before, giving more fans the chance to see their favourite artists in the lead-up to the UK's biggest night in music.

All proceeds from the shows go towards War Child’s essential work providing aid, education, specialist mental health support, and more while standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been devastatingly affected by war.

With a star-studded lineup already, there’s more to look forward to with further announcements expected in the coming weeks.

Through BRITs Week, some of the biggest names in music will play a series of very special, intimate shows to help save lives around the world.
