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.

Three decades of celebrating excellence
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 'Off the Charts' Gala Dinner
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.
Arthur Award Highlights
Polly Money
Artist
Polly Money is a singer-songwriter hailing from Cornwall, UK, breathing fresh air into the indie pop genre. She pulls in even the most distracted ears, with confessional lyrics, sugar-high soundscapes, addictive rhythms, and smooth production.
Her latest EP, T-shirt Nothing Else is exactly how it sounds: intimate, vulnerable, and boldly queer in equal measures — a musical kiss at the nape of a neck. Previously a session musician for the 1975, Let’s Eat Grandma, Issey Cross, and Gracey, she brings a devotion to detail to her live shows, learned from sets on the world’s biggest stages. Come as you are, and leave flushed with dopamine and sheer joy.
