25 February 2027 | Hilton Park Lane, LONDON
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.

Billboard Japan serves as a gateway to globalisation in music, promoting cultural exchange and connecting Japan with the international industry.
As director of international business development, I bring over 30 years of experience in artist booking, international liaison, and business strategy to support this mission. After spending five years in Los Angeles, I am now based in London, where I have worked for the past fifteen years with Billboard Japan as a global partner of Billboard US, developing international partnerships and live entertainment initiatives across Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka.
Focused on bridging Japanese and global music communities, I oversee international partnerships and transactions that create new business opportunities while enabling seamless collaboration between artists, promoters, and venues worldwide.
