Report: Lily Allen, RAYE and Dua Lipa to perform medley in tribute to Mark Ronson at BRIT Awards

Lily Allen, RAYE and Dua Lipa have been approached about honouring collaborator Mark Ronson with a medley at the 2026 BRIT Awards.

The 50-year-old studio wizard is set to be bestowed with the Outstanding Contribution to Music accolade at the upcoming ceremony, which takes place on Saturday, February 28, at Manchester’s Co-op Live, and the trio are said to have been invited to grace the stage to perform the hit songs they worked on with the producer.

Mark produced Lily’s cover of Oh My God by Kaiser Chiefs way back in 2007.

RAYE and Mark also have a history, with the Escapism singer having co-written the track Don’t Leave Me Lonely for his 2019 album Late Night Feelings. More recently, Mark produced her 2025 song Suzanne.

Dua, meanwhile, teamed up with Mark and Diplo (Silk City) on the Grammy Award-winning Electricity in 2018.

An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column about the tribute: “The Outstanding Contribution to Music gong is massive for Mark and the Brits want to celebrate his impact on the music industry.

“He has worked on so many incredible songs with some massive artists, and they’ve been reaching out to try to get something very special lined up.

“Dua, Lily and Raye have all been approached about performing a medley of Mark’s songs, including their own tracks he worked on.

“The Brits love a big moment and want this tribute to be one of the most impactful moments of the night.

“It’s all still a massively moveable feast, with the finer details being ironed out.”

The Uptown Funk hitmaker described the accolade as the “most meaningful honour” of his career.

The DJ – who has won ten Grammy Awards and is already confirmed to perform at this year’s BRITs – said in a statement: “This is the most meaningful honour of my career. I think of the times I’ve watched artists I revere accept this same award. The idea that I’m now standing in that lineage feels impossible.”

Mark – who also worked with the late, great Amy Winehouse – was born in London, but raised in New York – and the chart-topping star is proud of his British roots.

He said: “I left England as a kid, but this country runs through everything I’ve made. The UK artists I’ve worked with – their brilliance and refusal to compromise – shaped not just my work but how I understand what music should do. And more than anything, it’s the crowds here who’ve sustained and showed up for me. The fans, the festival crowds, the record buyers and streamers – the love has always been overwhelming. I’m beyond grateful for all of it.”
