MOBO has revealed the next wave of performers for the 2026 MOBO Awards.
Wiley (pictured), Chip, Nolay, Scorcher and D Double E will perform at the ceremony on March 26 for ‘MOBO Salutes: Grime 25’, a special showcase curated by DJ Target which celebrates 25 years of the genre.
The grime stars join Olivia Dean, Flo and Tiwa Savage at the awards show held at Manchester’s Co-op Live. Hip-hop icon Eve and comedian and broadcaster Eddie Kadi were previously announced as hosts for the MOBOs in its 30th anniversary year.
Kanya King CBE, founder and CEO of the MOBO Group, said: “Celebrating grime on the MOBO stage feels incredibly meaningful. It’s one of the most important cultural movements this country has produced, and its rise reflects MOBO’s own journey – championing homegrown sounds, elevating new voices and helping take underground culture into the mainstream.
“MOBO has always stood for community as much as celebration, which is why partnerships like our work with Prostate Cancer UK are so important. Using this platform to raise awareness and drive change is a responsibility we take seriously.”
Tickets for the MOBO Awards 2026 are on sale now.
