MOBO Awards will return in 2020 after two years off

The last MOBO Awards took place in 2017 at Leeds' First Direct Arena, and saw Stormzy scoop awards for Best Album, Best Male Act, and Best Grime Act.

Next year, the MOBO Awards will return, but this time to London's Wembley SSE Arena.

CEO Kanya King CBE says of the 2020 MOBO Awards, "We felt empowered to bring MOBO back to Brent to coincide with the borough’s Year of Culture because this is where our fight to challenge the status quo to create a level playing field started. We are returning with even more determination and energy to support and boost our culture wherever we can. 2020 will see many positive changes that will impact more and more talented young people – very proud to be back and to help ensure that the younger generation will also dare to dream."

In 2018, the MOBO Awards announced that they would be taking a year off to "bring the platform to brand new heights and, most importantly, continue to amplify the exposure of the large pool of exceptional talent celebrated by MOBO."
