The MOBOs are back with another evening of live music and awards for this year's ceremony—and it's a bit of a big one as they celebrate their 25th anniversary years.

Pa Salieu, Ghetts, Potter Payper, Stefflon Don and Ms Banks graced last year's stage with their spellbinding performances while Little Simz took home Best Female Act and Ghetts won his first ever MOBO as Best Male Act. Elsewhere Dave bagged Album Of The Year for his outstanding work on We're All Alone In This Together, the category also housed nominees like Cleo Sol, Headie One, Ghetts, Arlo Parks and Celeste for their inspirational works. Central Cee was awarded Best Newcomer and Best Drill Act following the success of his Wild West tape.

This year MOBO have added two new categories for "Best Alternative Music Act" and "Best Dance/Electronic Act", broadening the scope of who can be recognised and celebrated for their contributions to Black music. Following her Mercury Prize Award, Little Simz resurfaces again with four nominations alongside Central Cee. R&B stars FLO arrive with their first nomination as "Best Newcomer" while Ezra Collective can be found amongst their peers in Best Jazz Acts.

MOBOs founder, Kanya King, said in a statement: "Today's announcement truly shows what a bumper year it has been for the scene. It's a proud moment to see MOBO once again recognise and honour the luminaries and tip the stars of the future. This is what it means when we say 'honouring the past, inspiring the future.'"
