CFG, Oakview Group, and their Coop Live Arena management are smashing it.
Next year's Brit Awards are to be held in Manchester - the first time the ceremony has taken place outside London since the awards began in 1977.
The ceremony will be held at the Co-op Live arena on Saturday 28 February.
A two-year deal means that the 2027 ceremony, which will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Brit Awards, will also be held at the same venue.
