Iconic BRIT awards coming to the Etihad Campus | OneFootball

Co-op Live has today announced that The BRIT Awards will be held at the arena in 2026 and 2027.

The move to the Etihad Campus will mark the first time the event will be held in Manchester, following 47 years in London.

The BRITS celebrates the best in music and over the years the event has seen some of the most iconic performances and moments in award ceremony history.

The announcement will see The BRITS join an impressive roster of events to be held at Co-op Live, with the arena having already hosted the MTV European Music Awards and the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Paul McCartney and Sabrina Carpenter in its first year.

Roel de Vries, Group Chief Operating Officer at City Football Group, said: “As Joint Venture Partners in Co-op Live, we’re delighted to have The BRIT Awards at the arena for the next two years. The ceremony will be an opportunity to showcase Manchester and our growing campus to a global audience.

“In its first year alone, Co-op Live has hosted world-class music and sports events, and we’re proud that through our partnership with Oak View Group and the work of Manchester City Council leaders, we’ll be bringing The BRIT Awards to Manchester after nearly five decades in London.”

Co-op Live is a joint-venture partnership between City Football Group and Oak View Group and is located next to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium Development which will see the campus evolve into a world-class entertainment destination.
