Which award did Noel Gallagher receive at the 2026 Brit Awards?

Noel Gallagher received the Songwriter of the Year award at the 2026 BRIT Awards.

The honour recognised Gallagher’s songwriting across more than three decades, particularly his work with Oasis. The award was announced before the ceremony and presented during the event by Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream. Gallagher’s recognition arrived as Oasis were completing a major reunion world tour, bringing renewed attention to the band’s catalogue.

Songwriter of the Year is separate from British Group, which recognises a band’s overall recorded work, and from Producer of the Year, which focuses on studio production. Gallagher is best known as Oasis’s principal songwriter, having written major songs including “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova.”

The 2026 ceremony was the 46th BRIT Awards and took place at Manchester’s Co-op Live, marking the first time the event was held outside London. Gallagher’s award therefore combined a career-spanning tribute with a celebration of his continuing place in British music.
