The MOBO awards are coming in November, which means its time to reveal the nominees.
The awards celebrate the best music of black origin from the UK and are one of the most prestigious awards which focus on black artists. The award show will take place on Wednesday 29th November at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. If you want to buy tickets to the aforementioned event you can do so here. Prices start at £25.84.
