LONDON (CelebrityAccess) — The Arthur Awards, honoring the best and brightest of the live touring industry, will return as an in-person event for 2022.
Noted London talent agent Emma Banks has signed on to host the awards gala, which will take place as part of the International Live Music Conference’s gala dinner on March 3rd.
Guests will be welcomed with a champagne reception, followed by a five-star, four-course meal prepared by the chefs at ILMC’s new venue for 2022, the Sheraton Grand Park Lane.
The nominees in each category are decided by a committee of 150 industry professionals. The final winners are then decided by an open vote of all ILMC members and IQ Magazine readers.
Voting ends Friday 11 February 2022 at 18:00 GMT.
