Huge band confirmed to perform at Brit Awards joining Harry Styles and Olivia Dean
ONE of the UK’s most celebrated rock bands has been officially confirmed to perform at the Brit Awards alongside major stars.
The indie band, joining Harry Styles and Olivia Dean, is none other than Wolf Alice.
They were the first band confirmed by the BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard and it could be a huge night for them.
Wolf Alice are up for three exciting awards including, Group of the Year, Alternative/Rock Act and Mastercard Album of the Year for their fourth studio album ‘The Clearing’.
Their newest album debuted last August and was a huge hit with fans, reaching number one upon release.
Theo Ellis, Wolf Alice’s bassist, said: “We’re truly honoured to get the opportunity to play this year’s BRIT Awards!
“Can’t wait to see what everyone’s wearing, can’t wait to see who else is playing, can’t wait to have ten mini wines (after we play).
“Most of all can’t wait for a big night out in Manny. Make sure to tune in and watch it all live on the telly.”
The band recently announced a huge summer show at Finsbury Park on 5th July, where they will be joined by The Last Dinner Party, Lykke Li, Rachel Chinouriri, Keo, and Florence Road.
Wolf Alice had a jam-packed year in 2025 from performing at Glastonbury in the summer to launching a huge global tour for their newest album.
The band travelled across North America, Europe and the UK from September to December and it seems they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
Comedian Jack Whitehall will be back on Saturday, 28 February to host The Brit Awards as it debuts at its new Manchester home.
Last week, the nominations were announced for this year’s awards and leading the charge for 2026 are Olivia Dean and Lola Young with five nominations each.
Sam Fender follows closely behind with four nominations following his Mercury Prize win last year.
Other British artists up for awards this year include Lily Allen, Calvin Harris, JADE, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz, PinkPantheress, RAYE and Skye Newman.
The public vote for Song of the Year with Mastercard and International Song of the Year open tomorrow at midday only via Whatsapp.
Information on the vote can be found here.
The Brit Awards will be available to stream exclusively on ITV and ITVX.
