The MOBO Awards are coming to Manchester for the very first time! 

On Thursday 26 March 2026, we will take over the spectacular Co-op Live Arena, the UK’s newest and largest live entertainment venue, for a night celebrating the very best in music, culture, and creativity.

2026 is extra special as the MOBO Organisation marks 30 years of shaping culture, championing talent, and creating unforgettable moments. You don’t want to miss this historic celebration! 

The 2025 MOBO Awards were packed with unforgettable moments. From a surprise performance by Vybz Kartel to Ayra Starr’s big MOBO Award win, alongside electrifying performances from Spice, Bashy, Odeal, Darkoo, Krept & Konan, DJ AG, and more. The night was filled with special guests, show-stopping performances, and an energy that lit up the entire arena from start to finish. 

General Admission tickets for the 2026 MOBO Awards will go on sale in December.

VIP packages can be reserved from 15th December (further details to be announced).

Performers will be released at a later date.
