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
Malin Kimmich
Festival Booker
·
FKP Scorpio
Malin entered the professional world of music at the age of 18, gaining hands-on experience across various areas of event production and organisation, from large-scale festivals and clubs to more intimate live music environments.
Fueled by a growing interest in playing a more strategic role in the industry, she pursued a highly selective degree in Music Business at the Popakademie in Mannheim, Germany. During her studies, she became actively involved in artist development initiatives, supporting emerging talent and preparing them for the professional live and music industry landscape.
Graduating during the pandemic, Malin bridged the disruption in the music industry by remotely teaching a university course in digital marketing while relocating to Milan. At the same time, she continued working on a variety of freelance projects within the music world.
In January 2023, she joined the festival booking team at FKP Scorpio, where she curates and manages lineups for major festivals. Among them is Southside Festival, which holds a special place in her heart, being the event that first drew her into the music world.
