The NI Music Prize returns to the Ulster Hall on the 11 November 2026 for one of the biggest nights in Northern Ireland’s music calendar.
Celebrating the very best of our homegrown music, the NI Music Prize brings together artists, musicians and the wider music community for a special evening of live performances and awards, shining a spotlight on the remarkable music being made in and from Northern Ireland.
The night will see the presentation of awards including Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Live Act of the Year, PRS for Music Creator of the Year, BBC Introducing in NI Artist of The Year and the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, recognising artists at every stage of their careers and across a wide range of genres.
More than an awards ceremony, the NI Music Prize is a celebration of Northern Ireland’s music scene, featuring a packed programme of live performances from some of the most exciting established and emerging artists working today.
Produced by Oh Yeah Music Centre, the NI Music Prize has grown into a landmark annual event and a unique opportunity to experience the breadth, quality and diversity of Northern Irish music together on one stage.
Join us at the Ulster Hall for a very special night celebrating the music and the people who make it.
