Pencil us in early, guys!

The date for the 2017 MOBO Awards has just been revealed: Wednesday 29th November!

We are heading back to Leeds for a second time, invited by Leeds City Council and Leeds BID (Business Improvement District), after a fantastic celebration in 2015 when we witnessed incredible performances from Rita Ora, FKA twigs, Krept and Konan, Lethal Bizzle, Ella Eyre, Naughty Boy and CeeLo Green, as well as appearances from Idris Elba, Stormzy and Lenny Henry (we still haven't forgotten *that* EPIC acceptance speech!). 

So, for now, whatever you do – save the date! Lock it, cancel everything else and make yourself available, because if you miss this… #ThatsYourFault!

Looking to get in on the action? Tickets for the 2017 MOBO Awards go on sale this Friday, September 29. As in 2015, the show will be taking place in the magnificent first direct arena.
