BRITs Week: Robbie Williams to perform at Aviva Studios

Robbie Williams has been confirmed for a special show at Manchester’s Aviva Studios as part of BRITs Week 2026.

Williams will be performing a ‘mega set’ featuring tracks from his debut album Life Thru A Lens and his recent #1 album, BRITPOP at Aviva on Fri 27 Feb, with support coming from Indie chart toppers, Lottery Winners.

All proceeds from the BRITs Week 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.

BRITs Week takes place in the lead-up to the BRIT Awards on Sat 28 Feb, hosted at Manchester’s Co-op Live, marking the first time the ceremony has left the capital in its nearly 50-year history.

Clare Sanders-Wright, Head of Live Music at War Child, said; “Our BRITs Week 2026 shows kick off this week and all of us at War Child couldn’t be more grateful to everyone involved in making them happen, from the artists and their teams to the venues, partners like DHL, and everyone else behind the scenes. To add another headline show with Robbie Williams is incredible, and we’re sure fans are just as excited as we are.

“520 million children around the world are living through conflict right now. In Gaza, more than 20,000 children have been killed with over a million left traumatised. In Sudan, a child every 10 seconds is forced to flee their home due to the war. But thanks to the money raised from shows like this, War Child is able to provide vital support protecting, educating and standing up for as many of these children as possible.”

As part of the celebrations, Olivia Dean recently announced an intimate show at the Albert Hall, with The K’s taking to the stage at Gorilla. Artists will be playing across the UK to mark BRITs Week, with shows also taking place in Newcastle, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham and Brighton.
