BRIT Awards 2026: PinkPantheress, Sammy Virji, Clementine Douglas, and Fred again.. shortlisted

The nominations for the 2026 BRIT Awards have been revealed, with the ceremony set to take place in Manchester on February 28th at the Co-Op Live Arena.

Among this year’s categories, the Best Dance Act shortlist highlights a strong presence of UK and international electronic artists.

PinkPantheress, Sammy Virji, and FKA twigs are nominated for Best Dance Act, alongside Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas and the collaborative project from Fred again.., Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax. The category reflects a range of club-focused and crossover releases from the past year.

Elsewhere in the nominations, Fred again.. also receives additional nods across other categories, while electronic and dance-adjacent artists continue to feature across genre and collaboration awards. Full nominations were announced ahead of the ceremony later this month.

The 46th BRIT Awards will be hosted in Manchester for the first time, marking a move away from previous London-based ceremonies.
