Lily Allen, RAYE and Dua Lipa have reportedly been approached to honour Mark Ronson with a special medley at the 2026 BRIT Awards. The producer is set to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music award at the ceremony, which will take place on 28 February at Manchester’s Co-op Live. Organisers are said to be keen to celebrate his long-standing influence on the music industry with live performances of songs created in collaboration with the artists.

Ronson has a notable history with all three musicians. He produced Lily Allen’s 2007 cover of Oh My God by Kaiser Chiefs, while his work with RAYE includes co-writing Don’t Leave Me Lonely for his 2019 album Late Night Feelings and producing her 2025 track Suzanne. Dua Lipa previously collaborated with Ronson and Diplo as part of Silk City on the Grammy Award-winning single Electricity in 2018.
According to reports, the BRIT Awards team is aiming to create a standout moment for the evening by showcasing Ronson’s extensive catalogue and impact. Sources suggest discussions are ongoing, with the format and final line-up still being refined as organisers work to deliver a high-profile tribute befitting the accolade.
