With the first BRIT Awards to happen in Manchester coming up quick, the excitement is palpable, and the performance announcements keep coming in thick and fast. Today’s announcement comes in the form of chart-topping powerhouse Alex Warren, who will perform at this year BRIT Awards in Manchester.
Alex joins an incredible line-up of recently announced artists Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, KPop Demon Hunters, Wolf Alice, ROSALÍA and Mark Ronson, as the show shapes up to be the biggest BRITs yet, in its new Manchester home, the Co-op Live.
Alex Warren is one of 2025’s worldwide breakout stars. With over 7.7 billion total career streams and over 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his hit single Ordinary is BRIT Certified 3x Platinum, was the most played record at UK radio in 2025 and reached Number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the longest-running UK Number 1 by a US artist this decade.
He released his debut album ‘You’ll Be Alright, Kid‘ in July, which hit Number 1 on the UK Album Chart and went on to rack up six Top 40 singles, five of which reached the Top 10. In his native US, Ordinary remained at Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks and was the top selling song released in 2025 in the US by total units.
The album was certified Platinum in recognition of over one million albums sold and remained inside the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart for 13 non-consecutive weeks after debuting in the Top 5. ‘You’ll Be Alright, Kid’ was the seventh most-streamed album globally on Spotify for 2025.
Alex recently announced he will headline arenas across North America, Europe and the UK on his tour Little Orphan Alex Live, which will kick off in April. He won Best New Artist at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards and earned his first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist at the 2026 Awards. Ordinary broke records in the UK and became one of the defining songs of 2025, earning Alex a nomination for International Song of the Year at this year’s BRIT Awards.
Alex said: “The UK is where Ordinary first broke and changed my life last year. I am so grateful for all the love from my fans there, and I can’t wait to bring a big performance to the BRITs’ stage for the very first time.”
