Stars celebrate their BRIT Awards wins at Universal Music afterparty

The party in Manchester went well into the night for the 2026 BRIT Awards, with artists celebrating their wins at the Universal Music afterparty.

Last night’s (February 28) ceremony is the first of two BRIT Awards in a row to be held at Manchester’s Co-op Live, the first time the BRITs has left London.

Olivia Dean won big with four awards including Album of the Year, while the show also saw Harry Styles’ live debut of ‘Aperture’, Mark Ronson’s hit-packed retrospective medley and Wolf Alice’s conceptual run-through of ‘The Sofa’ alongside a stunning rendition of ‘Berghain’ from Rosalia featuring special guest Björk.

Dean was one of a host of artists to keep the party going in Manchester city centre after the BRITs had wrapped up. See photos from the afterparty at The Ivy below.
