The most enjoyable night in the UK music business calendar is back – with a new name.

The Music Business UK Awards, presented by Music Business Worldwide, will take place on the evening of Tuesday, November 5 at the Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden, London.

The event will once again celebrate the best examples of A&R and talent development in the UK market, while also recognising standout artist/songwriter management.

Two new awards are being introduced for 2024, led by the International Executive of The Year Award.

This award will celebrate a non-British company leader who has personally and materially furthered the global careers of UK songwriters/artists. It will be voted for by UK-based subscribers of MBW’s premium tier, MBW+.

In addition, the Artist Lawyer of the Year Award will recognize a UK-based individual providing crucial direct services to talent, both domestically and around the world. The UK talent management community will vote for this award.
