EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, the singing voices of HUNTR/X from KPop Demon Hunters, are set to perform their global smash “Golden” as part of the 2026 BRIT Awards on Saturday Feb. 28.
The trio will perform in front of invited fans outside of Manchester’s Co-op Live, filmed in advance of The BRIT Awards. This will mark The BRITs’ first-ever performance by a K-pop artist. Fans will be able to catch this exclusive performance during The BRIT Awards, which are scheduled to run from 8-10 p.m. local time on Saturday, Feb. 28. The show will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX in Britain and stream on YouTube.com/BRITs around the world.
The trio will perform the Billboard Hot 100-topping song on the BRITs 15 days before they are scheduled to perform it on the Oscars on Sunday March 15, where it is nominated for best original song.
HUNTR/X received two BRITs nominations this year – international group of the year and best international song (for “Golden”).
“We are beyond thrilled to be nominated for 2 BRIT awards this year celebrating the music of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS!,” EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, said in a statement. “We can’t wait to bring a special performance to Manchester. See you soon UK Fans!”
HUNTR/X is the sixth artist to be announced as a performer on the BRITs, following Olivia Dean, Mark Ronson, Harry Styles, Wolf Alice and Rosalía. Two of the six are international artists – Rosalía is from Spain.
“Golden” isn’t the only song from a blockbuster film to be nominated for a BRIT this year. “Defying Gravity” from Wicked, as performed by stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, is up for song of the year. (It’s in that category, rather than best international song, because Erivo is British.)
“Golden” has been on an awards tear in recent weeks. It won best original song – motion picture at both the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Golden Globes and best song written for visual media at the Grammys.
The other BRITs nominees for international group of the year are Geese, Haim, Tame Impala and Turnstile.
The other nominees for best international song are Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” Disco Lines & Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys,” Gigi Perez’s “Sailor Song,” Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ “Die with a Smile,” Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not,” Rosé & Bruno Mars’s “APT.,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild,” Sombr’s “Undressed” and Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Comedian, actor, presenter and writer Jack Whitehall is hosting The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard, as the show is formally known. It’s his sixth time as host.
