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.

The 19th annual RT Choice Music Prize will once again celebrate the best in Irish recorded music. The Prize has become one of the music-industry highlights of the year since its inception in 2005. The Irish Album of the Year award is chosen from a shortlist of ten albums by a panel of eleven Irish music media professionals and industry experts.
