Brit Awards 2026: here are all the winners, from Olivia Dean to Sam Fender

A one-sided night at the Brit Awards: Olivia Dean emerges as the central figure of this year's ceremony, picking up four key awards and cementing 2025 as her definitive breakthrough year.

The British singer-songwriter, fresh off the release of her second album “The Art Of Loving“, took home Album Of The Year, Artist Of The Year, Best Pop Act, and Song Of The Year for her collaboration with Sam Fender on “Rein Me In”. A result that puts her at the very top of the contemporary British scene.

Performers on the night included Harry Styles — making his first public performance in three years — Dean herself, EJAE of HUNTR/X, Audrey Nuna, REI AMI, Wolf Alice, Mark Ronson, Alex Warren, Sombr and RAYE. A surprise moment came with Björk and Rosalía sharing the stage together.

Among the other awards: Jacob Alon wins the BRITs Critics' Choice Award 2026; Mark Ronson receives the Outstanding Contribution To Music award; Noel Gallagher is named Songwriter Of The Year; PinkPantheress becomes the youngest ever winner and the first woman to receive the Producer Of The Year award.

A moving tribute was paid to Ozzy Osbourne, honoured with the BRITs Lifetime Achievement Award following his death last July. Paying homage to him were Robbie Williams, joined by Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde.
