Warners Wild BRITs: Nineties Rave and Family Fun

The stars descended on Manchester for the 2026 BRIT Awards and shocked the crowd with a surprise performance at the Co-Op Live on Saturday. 

But it was the wild Warner after party that the pop star, 30, got to let her hair down at, as she enjoyed the night with her family and childhood best friend Sarah Lysander. 

Dua danced the night away alongside her dad Dukagjin, 56, and her lookalike siblings, brother Gjin, 20, and sister Rina, 24, at the lavish The Cut & Craft venue.

Though she was without her dapper fiance Callum Turner, the One Kiss songstress and her family boogied into the early hours. 

The party concept was based around the iconic 90s rave scene in Manchester film 24 Hour Party People with a playful twist. 

Inside the iconic 90s rave, poodle printed carpets had been added to the extravagant room alongside giant poodle inflatables and immersive lighting and a soundscape by L-Acoustics. 

The Lipa family supported youngest sibling Gjin, who took to the decks to kick-off the night for the star-studded crowd with an incredible set. 

Proud sister Dua was spotted taking photos on her phone of her younger brother performing to the crowd. 

The Levitating singer stunned in a sculpted black corset and figure-hugging skirt while Sarah donned a floral red and black gown. Dua's handsome father rocked a cool leather jacket while Gjin and Rina both opted for all black ensembles. 

The A-list guests were treated to bespoke Hennessy cocktails, Manchester-inspired canapés including mini burgers, finger sandwiches, lamb croquette and more. 

As well as Dua's brother, a series of DJs including Romeo Beckham's girlfriend Kim Turnbull, G2, Tommy Gold and Groove Armada performed. 

Earlier in the evening, Dua joined producer Mark Ronson, 50, on stage to perform their hit Dance The Night and Electricity. 

Ten-time Grammy Award winning artist Mark celebrated receiving the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, before taking to the stage to perform. 

The 46th edition of the  took place at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena for the first time on Saturday. 

Olivia Dean swept the floor as she took home four awards – winning in every category she was nominated for.

The British singer and songwriter, 26, won Best Artist, Best Album, Best Song and Best Pop Act.

In the Song of the Year category Olivia was nominated for two, for her single Man I Need, as well as her song Rein Me In with – which won.

Olivia, 26, became the first woman to claim the UK's No 1 single and album in the same week since in 2021, with her song Man I Need and album The Art Of Loving, both released in 2025.
