kwn delivers a dazzling performance at Brighton’s Patterns for BRITs Week 26 for War Child

R&B star kwn took over Brighton’s famous Patterns last night, delivering a slick set blending trip-hop with soulful vocals for BRITs Week 26, delivered by DHL for War Child.

The ‘Worst Behaviour’ hitmaker showcased her sharp songwriting and alluring stage presence, keeping the crowd hypnotised from start to finish, with support on the night coming from that of London-based R&B newcomer Cari. 

BRITs Week is taking place around The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard on Saturday, 28th February in Manchester. With the awards leaving the capital for the first time in its nearly 50-year history, BRITs Week 26 is expanding into a new era with artists playing in Newcastle, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Brighton and Manchester, giving more fans across the country the chance to see their favourite artists in the lead-up to the UK’s biggest night in music.  

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. Right now, it’s the deadliest time in history to be a child. 1 in 5 children globally (over 520 million) are currently affected by war. But there is hope.

With support from music fans, War Child can help children put the pieces back together. By joining the charity for the intimate, one-off performances of some of their favourite artists, fans will be directly contributing to help War Child rebuild children’s lives.
