The Northern Music Awards are coming to Liverpool in March 🥳

Jay spoke with BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Chris Hawkins about what Liverpool can expect from the huge annual event, brought to us by Nordoff & Robbins.

The UK’s largest music therapy charity, Nordoff and Robbins, yesterday announced the unmissable performance packed line-up for the second Northern Music Awards sponsored by Ticketmaster and Live Nation, to be held in Liverpool on Thursday 27 March.

Ian Broudie, legendary singer, songwriter, producer and frontman of indie-pop royalty, Lightning Seeds, will be honoured with the prestigious Special Recognition Award sponsored by SJM Concerts at the Northern Music Awards, and the band will be taking to the stage for a special live performance. The stellar line-up will also include Stockport-bred indie-pop band, Blossoms, Liverpudlian indie-rockers The Zutons, Liverpool’s rising romantic rock star Luvcat and – at the forefront of Hull’s rap scene – Chiedu Oraka.

Taking place this year at the historic Liverpool Olympia, the Northern Music Awards sponsored by Ticketmaster and Live Nation honour the very best artists, festivals, venues and industry figures from across the North. Held for the first time in Manchester in April 2024, the Northern Music Awards are the only awards set up specifically to recognise and celebrate the breadth of musical talent across the North of England.

Hosted by BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Chris Hawkins, with specially commissioned awards designed by contemporary British artist Thomas Wolski, the Northern Music Awards take place in a different Northern city every year to ensure every corner of the region is celebrated. Money raised from the event will go towards increasing Nordoff and Robbins’ music therapy provision in the North of England.
