BRITs Week 2026 War Child Gigs Announced Across the UK

The line-up for BRITs Week 2026 has been confirmed, with Fatboy Slim, Myles Smith, Lambrini Girls and more set to play a series of intimate shows in support of War Child.

Delivered by DHL, the annual event takes place in the run-up to the BRIT Awards and sees major artists perform one-off, small-capacity gigs to raise funds and awareness for War Child. The charity provides protection, education, mental health support and other vital services for children affected by conflict around the world.

This year’s BRIT Awards will be held in Manchester — marking the first time the ceremony has taken place outside London in almost 50 years. The War Child shows will lead up to the event, beginning on February 12.

For 2026, BRITs Week is entering a new phase by expanding beyond London, with shows scheduled across several UK cities including Newcastle, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Brighton, London and Manchester.

The series will open with Fatboy Slim, who will kick things off with a one-off performance at the intimate Boiler Room venue in Newcastle on February 12. The appearance comes ahead of the BRIT- and Grammy-winning DJ’s major festival headline slots later this summer.

Politically charged punk duo Lambrini Girls will follow with a high-energy show at The Garage in London on February 16. Meanwhile, last year’s BRITs Rising Star winner Myles Smith will return to his hometown of Nottingham to perform at Rescue Rooms on February 24.

More shows and artists are expected to be announced as BRITs Week 2026 approaches.
