When are the BRIT Awards 2027 nominations announced?

The date has not been confirmed yet. In recent years the BRITs have named the Rising Star winner in December and revealed the full list of nominations in January, about six weeks before the ceremony.

Why are the BRITs in Manchester and not London?

The BRITs were held at The O2 in London for many years before moving to Manchester’s Co-op Live, the UK’s biggest indoor arena, in 2026. The BPI, which runs the awards, says it wants to grow the show’s impact across the whole of the UK.
