Robbie Williams is set to take the stage for an exclusive performance in Manchester later this month as part of the annual Brits Week concert series. The beloved singer will grace the Aviva Studios on 27 February, just a day before the Brit Awards ceremony at the Co-op Arena. This special gig not only promises an intimate atmosphere for fans but also aims to raise essential funds for the charity War Child.
A Star-Studded Line-Up
The concert will feature Williams performing tracks from his latest album, “Britpop,” alongside timeless hits from his debut solo effort, “Life Thru A Lens.” He will be supported by the indie pop band Lottery Winners, who are known for their catchy melodies and engaging performances. The event is part of a broader series that includes performances from Grammy winner Olivia Dean and the iconic 1990s band Spiritualized, each contributing to the noble cause.
Clare Sanders-Wright, the head of live music at War Child, expressed her enthusiasm: “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.”
Supporting a Worthy Cause
As part of the Brits Week initiative, all proceeds from the concerts will benefit War Child’s mission to provide aid, education, mental health support, and advocacy for children whose lives have been devastated by conflict. The charity aims to make a substantial difference in the lives of vulnerable children, and events like these help to amplify their message.
This year’s concert series features a range of performances across the UK. Olivia Dean will perform at Manchester’s Albert Hall on 26 February, while Spiritualized will take the stage at London’s EartH Theatre on 18 February. Other notable acts include guitarist Jack Savoretti and classical crossover star Katherine Jenkins at London’s Emerald Theatre on 25 February, along with DJ Fatboy Slim at Newcastle’s Boiler Shop on 12 February, and emerging artist Myles Smith at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham on 24 February.
