The inaugural Brit Awards held in Manchester received glowing reviews, surpassing the previous London editions. The event kicked off with a sensational performance by Harry Styles and continued with electrifying acts like Rosalia. Celebrities seated at the prime tables by the stage were seen thoroughly enjoying themselves, including the likes of Maya Jama. The lineup featured top talents such as Dua Lipa, Bjork, Robbie Williams, RAYE, and Olivia Dean.

Emotional tributes were also a highlight of the evening, with Tim Burgess honoring his friend Mani, and the Osbourne family visibly moved by the support for Ozzy. However, the mood briefly soured towards the end when a stage invader disrupted Sombr’s performance, causing a stir among attendees. Despite this incident, the overall night was deemed a success, with discussions already underway for Manchester to become the permanent host for the Brit Awards.
