BRITs Week 26 for War Child, delivered by DHL, saw its final two performances last night, with one from the iconic Robbie Williams at Manchester’s Aviva. He performed a show-stopping set, with the crowd enthralled by the beloved musician’s hits throughout the evening.
Williams’ commanding presence reminded everyone of why he remains one of the UK’s most enduring acts, bringing the week-long series of BRITs Week 2026 shows to a thrilling close. He played tracks from his debut album ‘Life Thru A Lens’ and his recent #1 album, ‘BRITPOP’.
Support on the night came from Manchester-based pop band, The Lottery Winners.
BRITs Week 26, delivered by DHL for War Child gives fans the unforgettable opportunity to see intimate, one-off performances from some of the biggest and most exciting names in music at some of the UK’s best venues.
BRITs Week is taking 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 Newcastle, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Brighton and Manchester, giving more fans across the country 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. Right now, it’s the deadliest time in history to be a child. 1 in 5 children globally (over 520 million) are currently affected by war. But there is hope. With support from music fans, War Child can help children put the pieces back together. By joining the charity for the intimate, one-off performances of some of their favourite artists, fans will be directly contributing to help War Child rebuild children’s lives.
The series completed last night, February 27th, as musicians took over stages in Edinburgh and Manchester with performances from Jacob Alon at Music Hall at Assembly Rooms and Robbie Williams at Aviva.
