Set to take place next Saturday (February 28), the event will be held at the Co-op Live in Manchester – the first time that the awards have been held outside of London in its 50-year history.

To mark the occasion, train company Northern has renamed Deansgate train station to ‘Olivia Deansgate’, a nod to the singer who is up for five awards at this year’s ceremony – including Artist of the Year.

Some commuters have complained about the changes, with one taking to X to declare it a  “project designed to confuse tourists”.

Northern have confirmed to any confused passengers that things will be returned to normal once the BRITs are over, writing: “I am sorry for any confusion this may cause, this has been done to celebrate the Brit Awards and the signs will change back after.”
