Bjork cuts a very kooky figure as she makes surprise appearance alongside Rosalia at the BRITs for performance described as a mix of 'Last Night Of The Proms' and 'Pacha in Ibiza'

Bjork made a surprise appearance during Rosalia's performance at the 2026 Brit Awards in Manchester on Saturday evening. 

The Icelandic icon, 60, cut a very kooky figure as she was welcomed to the stage by the Spanish songstress, 33, for a rendition of their song Berghain.

Bjork ensured all eyes were on her in a blue sculpted futuristic gown which she wore with an equally dramatic black headpiece.

Her dark locks were worn in buns, with dramatic make-up, while Rosalia opted for a simple white dress as she jumped about the stage during the engertic set. 

Host Jack Whitehall described their perfomance, which included both opera and techno as  a mix of 'Last Night Of The Proms' and 'Pacha in Ibiza'.

During the ceremony, Olivia Dean and Lola Young won their first-ever BRIT Awards.

Olivia won the first award of the evening when she took home the gong for Song Of The Year for Rein Me In with Sam Fender on Saturday. 

The singer, 26, whose song Man I Need was also nominated in the same category, was given the award by Robbie Williams.

She said: 'I just want to say thank you to Sam, it's a beautiful song and it was a pleasure to be a a part of it.' 

Off the back of winning her first ever Grammy, Lola took home the award for breakthrough artist after a turbulent few months.

It comes after a hiatus from music, following the 25-year-old sparking concern when she collapsed on stage at a New York gig in September.

She cancelled her remaining tour dates to take a break and get her 'head in a better place', but has since returned to the music scene and took to the stage to accept her award.

Manchester born Noel Gallagher, 58, was honoured with this year's Songwriter of the Year award, after he reunited with his brother Liam for their mammoth Oasis reunion tour. 

While his brother Liam wasn't in attendance, his daughter Anais and nephew Lennon were in the crowd for support on the night.

'I've got to thank my brother,' Noel said, before addressing the crowd: 'I'd like to thank you, the people who've kept those songs alive.'

Ten-time Grammy Award winning artist and producer Mark Ronson, 50, received the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, before taking to the stage to perform. 

International Song of the Year was won by Rosé and Bruno Mars for APT with Rosé at the ceremony to accept the honour. 

The Group of the Year award was won by Wolf Alice after the success of their fourth album The Clearing.

'We want to dedicate this award to all the people who helped us out in the early years of Wolf Alice,' singer Ellie Roswell said. 

American rock band Geese won International Group of the Year, their first BRIT award.

Olivia and Lola Young led the nominations at this year's ceremony with five each, closely followed by comeback queen Lily Allen, who has been recognised in three categories for her critically acclaimed fifth album, West End Girl.

Since removing gendered categories, such as Best Male and Best Female, the ceremony has faced backlash for the low number of female artists nominated, particularly in 2023 when the Artist Of The Year shortlist was entirely male. 

But 2026 rings in the changes, with 70 percent of this year's nominations being female or non-binary.  

Elsewhere, British rapper Dave has been recognised in three categories: Artist Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act.
