Manchester’s February 2026: Music, Magic, and The BRITs

February 3, 2026

Manchester in February is the city’s true cultural heartbeat, highlighted by the fact that for the first time ever, the BRIT Awards are heading north to the state-of-the-art Co-op Live arena.

With half-term festivities and high-profile music tours, the city will be busier than ever. Whether you are heading to a red-carpet event in our sleek Jaguar XJ or taking the family to a festival in the spacious Range Rover Sport, Executive Chauffeur Service ensures your February is defined by luxury, not logistics.

The Biggest Night in British Music

For the first time in history, the BRIT Awards 2026 (28 Feb) will be hosted at Co-op Live. With performances from stars like Harry Styles, this is the most prestigious ticket in town.

The Chauffeur Advantage: This is a red-carpet event. Arrive with the executive presence of a Jaguar XJ. Our chauffeurs will handle the restricted access and security cordons around the Etihad Campus, ensuring you are dropped off exactly where you need to be.

Arena Anthems and Global Stars

The arena schedules are packed this month. Catch global pop sensation Jason Derulo (7 Feb) or the alternative energy of Deftones (14 Feb) at Co-op Live. Meanwhile, the AO Arena hosts the eclectic Mika (11 Feb) and rock legends Alter Bridge (26 Feb). For a more intimate vibe, Tim Burgess appears in conversation (8 Feb) and Mumford & Sons launch their new album at the Albert Hall (9 Feb).

The Chauffeur Advantage: Avoid the Valentine’s Day traffic and the post-concert scramble for a ride. Your chauffeur will be synchronised with the encore, waiting in the warmth of a climate-controlled Range Rover Sport to whisk you away the moment the lights come up.

Theatre and the Silver Screen

Manchester’s theatres are bringing the heat this winter. The high-school satire of Mean Girls The Musical hits the Opera House (various dates), while the Palace Theatre hosts the colourful riot of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert (19–28 Feb). For drama fans, Single White Female (10–14 Feb) and the iconic Road starring Johnny Vegas at the Royal Exchange (starts 13 Feb) are the season's must-sees.

The Chauffeur Advantage: Theatre in February often means dodging the Manchester rain. Our door-to-door chauffeur service means you skip the umbrellas and the puddles, moving from your front door to the theatre foyer in total comfort.

Premier League & International Glory

The sporting calendar is relentless. Old Trafford hosts Manchester United vs. Tottenham (7 Feb), a massive top-four clash. Meanwhile, the Etihad sees Manchester City vs. Fulham (11 Feb) and Manchester City vs. Newcastle (21 Feb). For rugby fans, every Six Nations match will be screened at the city's largest fan zone, Freight Island.

The Chauffeur Advantage: Matchdays at Old Trafford or the Etihad are notoriously difficult to navigate. Let us handle the route planning and parking while you relax in the leather-clad sanctuary of our Range Rover Sport.

Family & Culture

The Super Duper Family Festival (18–21 Feb) transforms the city centre into a giant playground, featuring CBeebies Bedtime Stories LIVE and Blue Peter tours. For something truly unique, the Bubble Planet immersive experience at Depot Mayfield offers a surreal 360° journey for all ages.
