With the BRITs incoming, Manchester is definitely getting excited. Now, the iconic Robbie Williams is set to join the 2026 line-up for a mega set at Aviva Studios Manchester, during the immense BRITs Week. All proceeds from the shows go towards War Child‘s essential work providing aid, education, specialist mental health support, and more while standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been devastatingly affected by war.
On February 27th, Robbie is set to perform tracks from his debut album ‘Life Thru A Lens‘ and his recent Number 1 album, ‘BRITPOP‘, supported by indie chart toppers, Lottery Winners.
Last month, Robbie secured his 16th UK Number 1 album with ‘BRITPOP’, breaking the all-time record for the artist with the most UK Number 1 albums. In celebration of the release, Robbie has just finished a special run of shows at intimate venues in Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Wolverhampton as part of the ‘Long 90’s Tour’.
