Heavy Music Awards Return For 2021

---

The Heavy Music Awards is set to return for it’s fifth annual show, which will be taking place as an in-person event at the 2,300 capacity O2 Forum Kentish Town on Thursday 02 September 2021.

Last year the annual award show had to pivot to a live streamed online award show due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. HMA20 saw 177,000 live viewers tuned in. Following this success, the HMA’s 2021 will also be streamed world wide on Twitch.

The awards ceremony, now a staple of the live calendar has previously seen attendance from Good Charlotte, Laura Jane Grace, Poppy, Architects, As It Is, and performances from Cancer Bats, Fever 333, Creeper, Loathe, Nova Twins, and more.

Celebrating the breadth of talent across the alternative scene – including venues, designers, producers, photographers and a special community award “The H”, the ceremony culminates in a raucous fan-focused event.

The finalists shortlist for this years event will be announced alongside the opening of public voting at 2pm BST on Wednesday 16 June. By voting, fans are entered into a ballot to win tickets to the event itself on Thursday 02 September.

Shortlists are comprised entirely of nominations from an industry panel of almost 700 with the winners being chosen by the general public.
