Records shops are the rhythm to Manchester. So with The BRIT Awards 2026 headed to Manchester for the very first time, Mastercard have teamed up with some of the most iconic record stores like Easten Bloc, to spotlight their role in the city’s music culture.
The Manchester music scene is alive and well thanks to stores like Piccadilly Records that champion new music and foster local community. It’s no wonder The BRIT Awards 2026 is finding its way up to the music capital for the first time ever this year.
