Boston Manor, Vukovi and Scene Queen are among the first batch of names announced for the event
The Heavy Music Awards 2023 is set to take place at London’s legendary Ovo Arena Wembley on May 26 and now the first set of performers have been officially revealed.
Boston Manor, Creeper and Underoath will all take to the stage. Plus, two special collaborations have been announced, as Halestorm will be joined onstage by guitarist Sophie Lloyd and Glasgow’s VUKOVI will team up with Scene Queen for a special performance.
Pre-sale tickets are available right now to those who took part in the online vote for awards over the last few weeks, with general sale taking place on Wednesday April 19 at 10am.
VUKOVI lead the way at this year’s awards with five nominations, including Best UK Artist and Best Album, following the release of last year’s NULA. They’re closely followed by Nova Twins, Halestorm and Ghost, who are each up for four awards.
