Olivia Dean illuminates Manchester’s Albert Hall with spellbinding performance for BRITs Week 26 for War Child, delivered by DHL

BRITs Week 26, delivered by DHL for War Child, continued in Manchester with Olivia Dean taking over a candle-lit Albert Hall, delivering a commanding set that had the audience completely absorbed in every song. 

Nominated for five awards at this year’s BRIT Awards, including Mastercard Album of the Year and Artist of the Year, Olivia will also be performing at the Co-op Live on Saturday. 

She moved effortlessly through fan favourites ‘Dive’ and ‘The Hardest Part’ from her debut album Messy, as well playing hits such as ‘So Easy (To Fall In Love)’  and ‘Man I Need’ off of her sophomore record The Art of Living. It was this album that propelled her over the past year into a global force, cementing her status as one of pop’s brightest stars.

The 2026 series completes tonight, February 27th, as musicians take over stages in Edinburgh and Manchester with performances from Jacob Alon at Music Hall at Assembly Rooms and Robbie Williams at Aviva.
