‘Tonight felt like a landmark moment for the BRIT Awards,’ Stacey Tang (co-President of RCA Records, Sony Music UK), who chaired this year’s ceremony, said in a statement. ‘Bringing the ceremony to Manchester for the first time in its history gave the show a new kind of energy and the city met us with the openness it’s famous for. What unfolded on stage — from boundary‑pushing performances to career defining moments — reflected a year characterised by artistic ambition and the international pull of UK music.
‘At its core, The BRIT Awards exist to celebrate creativity in the UK and across the globe. In times that are tumultuous and uncertain, music remains one of the most powerful forces for connection, fostering community and joy.’
