Recognising the very best in the business across labels, publishing, live, A&R, radio, marketing and PR, the Music Week Awards bring the entire industry together for an unforgettable evening celebrating the teams and professionals driving music forward.
Music Week Awards 2026 finalists were unveiled last month – you can read all about this year’s contenders here. This year’s ceremony will also see the return of our Venue Of The Year category.
The 2025 edition also sold out several weeks in advance of the ceremony, which concluded with a special appearance by Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, who presented longtime manager and Wildlife Entertainment CEO Ian McAndrew with the coveted Strat trophy.
In his acceptance speech, McAndrew used the occasion to alert the industry to plans for a new Help album. Ten months on, Help(2) has just been released with strong sales.
