Harry Styles has opened this year’s 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester – watch him perform ‘Aperture’ below.

Styles will release his fourth solo album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, next week (March 6), the same day that he plays Manchester’s Co-op Live venue to launch the record.

Tonight, he previewed the show at the same venue with a performance of his recently released single as part of the BRITs.

Styles gave an energetic performance of the song on stage with a troupe of dancers, band and a choir. Later in the show, he took part in a skit with host Jack Whitehall.

You can watch the performance below.

Olivia DeanLola Young and Sam Fender lead the list of nominees for tonight’s show. When broken down, nearly 70 per cent of the nominations feature women and non-binary people – the highest representation in both categories to ever feature at the ceremony.

Other performances on the night will come from Olivia Dean, Rosalia, Wolf Alice, Alex Warren, Sombr and Mark Ronson, who will also accept the Outstanding Contribution to Music award, while Robbie Williams will front a special Ozzy Osbourne tribute to close the show with ‘No More Tears’.
