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
Dale Vince OBE
Green Industrialist
·
Grid Faeries / Ecotricity / Forest Green Rovers FC
Green industrialist Dale Vince OBE has gone from ‘enemy of the state’ to ‘green energy tycoon,’ but he doesn’t much care what you call him. He has dedicated his life to challenging conventional wisdom in pursuit of a better way of life, using business as a tool for environmentalism.
Dale kickstarted the now global green energy movement using the goals and values he developed on the road to help bring environmentalism into the mainstream.
He started the world’s first green energy company, Ecotricity, in 1996, leads Forest Green Rovers FC, dubbed the world’s greenest football team by FIFA; creates diamonds out of atmospheric carbon – Skydiamonds; builds windmills for export around the world – Britwind; launched a range of plant-based school dinners and earlier this year launched the world’s first electric airline Ecojet.
In 2004, he was awarded an OBE from the Prime Minister Tony Blair for services to the environment and was appointed the UN Ambassador for Climate Change in 2019.
He also made the world’s first electric supercar and built the Electric Car Super Charging Highway, the UK’s first national network of EV charging stations.
His first book, Manifesto, a Sunday Times Best Seller, is a manifesto of hope, backed up by solutions, from someone with real life experience of disrupting the energy industry and paving the way for a greener planet.
Nicknamed Labour’s Green Knight by The Sunday Times, Dale is a self-professed eco-naut, does not take ‘no’ for an answer and is leading the charge for a greener Britain.
