And in a historic move, the MOBO awards will come from the Utilita Arena Newcastle next year.

Bosses have yet to confirm the nominees as well as hosts but tickets go on sale very soon.

Fans can register for a 24-hour pre-sale window on October 4th before general sale begins on Saturday.

The event will take place on February 18th, 2025.

Speaking about the awards, Kanya King CBE, Founder and CEO of MOBO Group, said: “Newcastle is a city steeped in history, culture, and a dynamic sense of community alongside an electric nightlife, making it the perfect host city.

“We are honoured to bring the MOBO Awards to this iconic destination, eager to deliver a show that will resonate far beyond the North East.

“Beyond the awards night, through the MOBO Fringe Festival, we will be engaging with the local community to create an inspiring and impactful programme that highlights the significant cultural influence of Black music.

“Newcastle, get ready for a time to remember!”

Over the years MOBO has helped nurture home grown talent such as Skepta, Dave and 2022’s Mercury Prize winner Little Simz.
