The inclusion of the Irish Artist of the Year', Irish Breakthrough Artist of the Year' and Classic Irish Album' categories for the 2nd year running, coupled with the longstanding Irish Song of the Year' and the preeminent Irish Album of the Year' prizes allow us to more broadly represent the incredible past, present and exciting future of Irish music. 2FM will continue its support as the flagship partner station with content and promos across our platforms over the coming months, and this will be reflected more widely across the entire organisation as we get closer to the awards night.

The show will feature live performances from some of the shortlisted acts, further details on the line-up to be announced soon.
