The finalists have been announced and voting is now open for The Arthurs 2026 – the live music industry’s favourite awards.

This year’s categories include promoter, agent, venue, festival, assistant, young executive, ticketer, and the much-coveted Bottle Award for services to the industry. 2026 also sees the return of the top tour and top family entertainment show award.

The nominees and virtual voting form is here.

The finalists were chosen by a jury of 150 leading professionals, and the winners will be decided by a combination of a voting process and a jury of industry peers. All ILMC members and IQ Magazine readers are able to vote.
