How do I vote?

Stage two of the voting is now open. You’ve got until midnight on January 31 to vote.

How does voting work?

In two rounds: there’s an open vote to decide the shortlists, then a final vote to decide the winners. It’s just a little bit less complicated than the US Presidential elections.

Are all the awards voted for by the public?

No, there are some special prizes – including the legendary Godlike Genius Award, which was won by Coldplay last year – which are decided at NME HQ.

How do I get tickets?

Follow this link to purchase tickets to the VO5 NME Awards 2017. But hurry – early bird tickets are already sold out!

How can I follow the action if I can’t make it to Brixton?

Just stay tuned to NME.COM and NME’s social media channels for the night. We’ll have news, videos and all the winners live, as it occurs.

Who will be performing?

Only some of music’s biggest and best acts. Bastille, Dua Lipa and Wiley are all confirmed, with the latter also collecting the award for Outstanding Contribution To Music. Pet Shop Boys will close the night with a special career-spanning performance after collecting the award for Godlike Genius.

Are the prizes still those finger trophies?

You bet they are. We’ve been giving people the finger since 1994.
