We’ll be revealing all the shortlists in late February and the winners will be announced live at the awards ceremony on May 24, 2023 at Evolution London. Table bookings are now open here.

For 2023, we’re launching a brand new category: International Marketing Team. The award will recognise the achievements of UK label teams achieving success with British talent in global markets.
The Music Week Awards will also see the return of the Festival Of The Year category, which was not presented this year because of the lack of a full festival season in 2021. It will be the first time the category has been included since 2020, when Reading & Leeds Festival won for its 2019 edition.
The Strat is the special award for an outstanding contribution to the music business. Previous winners include PR legend Barbara Charone, MOBOs founder and CEO Kanya King, Warner Music (formerly Island) label exec Darcus Beese, Max Lousada, CEO, Recorded Music, Warner Music and Sarah Stennett, CEO, First Access Entertainment.
