Dua Lipa surprised the BRIT Awards 2026 audience with a performance during Mark Ronson's set at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, before heading to the Warner Music Group afterparty at Cut and Craft. The singer, who attended without fiancé Callum Turner, brought her childhood best friend Sarah Lysander and partied with her sister Rina Lipa on the dancefloor, where her brother Gjin Lipa was DJing.
The Grade II-listed former bank on Mosley Street was transformed into a pink poodle paradise, with a blow-up dog guarding the entrance. Guests including James Blunt, Rosé, Cush Jumbo, AJ Odudu, and Harris Dickinson enjoyed pink cocktails while mingling. Gene Gallagher, son of Liam Gallagher, was spotted with his girlfriend Nevey Maya, while his brother Lennon mingled at the bar.
Vogue Williams, attending her first BRITs, changed from a yellow gown to a black lace ensemble for the party. Damian Hurley told HELLO! he had a great night, calling the BRITs 'amazing'. Romeo Beckham's girlfriend Kim Turnbull DJed, and Geri Horner's daughter Bluebell Halliwell danced with friends. James Blunt, who presented an award with Maya Jama, said he felt lucky to witness the 'magic' of the performers.
