2025 Mercury Prize Ceremony to Be Held Outside of London for the First Time
The U.K.'s Mercury Prize location and date change have been announced.
Primal Scream ’s Screamadelica was the event’s first winner, and in the subsequent years, it was collected by a number of huge acts such as Pulp(1995), PJ Harvey(2001, 2011), Arctic Monkeys(2006), The xx(2010), Dave(2019) and more. It’s the latest awards event to favor hosting its ceremony in the north east of England, following on from the 2025 MOBOs(Music of Black Origin), which also took place at the Utilita Arena back in February. “The success of artists like Sam Fender shows what is possible for young musicians in our region and hosting the Mercury Prize in the north east gives us the opportunity to showcase our homegrown talent.”
