In March 2026, the BRIT Awards arrived in Manchester for the first time, as the UK’s biggest night in music was hosted at the spectacular Co-op Live Arena.

PS Events were honoured to be given the opportunity to collaborate on crewing duties for the BRIT Awards as the iconic ceremony made its debut at the venue.

PS Events operated on a rolling 24-hour schedule across the full build and break, ensuring crew were on site day and night throughout. We provided Steel and Scaffolding Crew, Production Crew, Site Crew and Forklift Operators to support the delivery of this major live music event.

During the live show, PS Events also provided experienced show crew supporting artist changeovers and backstage operations, working within the fast-paced environment of a live arena broadcast.

Across 8 days on site, PS Events provided 486 crew, delivering over 4,500 hours of skilled support.

Being part of the first BRIT Awards hosted at Co-op Live was an incredible experience and something we are immensely proud to have contributed to alongside a fantastic production team.
