The Arthur Awards – the most prestigious and highly anticipated annual awards of the global live music business – take place during ILMC week, with a broad music business audience in attendance.
Housed in a brand-new top-flight venue for 2027, the night sees 600 of the world’s top live music professionals – promoters, agents, venues, festivals, and more – come together as excitement builds, the winners are announced, and the golden statuettes are handed out.

The Arthur Awards began as a tongue-in-cheek affair in 1995 but have grown over three decades to become known as the Oscars of the international live music business.
The finalists in each category are shortlisted from thousands of votes received from fellow live industry professionals from across the globe. Once the shortlist in each category is announced, the winners are selected by an open vote of live music professionals in addition to a closed jury vote.
The evening begins with a champagne reception before the real spectacle begins: a five-star, four-course banquet from the Hilton’s award-winning chefs, complemented by fine wines, all with illustrious company.
As anticipation builds, the spotlight shifts to the Arthur Awards themselves: eleven categories, countless nominees, and only one victor in each. The 2027 Awards will be hosted by The Arthurs’ longstanding host and conductor extraordinaire, Ms Emma Banks.
Starting out at festivals, Agnes volunteered wherever possible. She worked as a producer and booker for the showcase festival by:Larm, and this year will be her ninth year working with arena rigging for Øya Festival.
In 2021, she started booking for Parkteatret Stage, a 500-capacity venue that is a staple venue in the Oslo live scene. She had been there for a year when All Things Live came knocking, and she started her role as promoter in the fall of 2022 at 24 years old, becoming the youngest promoter in Norway and one of only two female promoters at this level.
Since then, she has promoted more than 100 shows across the country, the biggest of which involved acts including Tyla, Kings of Leon, and Tyler, The Creator. She also works with acts like L’Imperatrice, Bon Entendeur, Fcukers, Maro, Alessi Rose, and many more. She was also the promoter for Norwegian legacy act Åge Aleksandersen’s concert at the 35,000-cap Voldsløkka open-air venue – his last stop in Oslo as part of his farewell tour.
