Awards 2025

The 8th Annual Radio Wigwam Awards are almost upon us!

The annual Awards is the highlight of the year for artists and the Wigwam community – it is our pleasure to reward the very best of the grassroots and independent music community. This year we are going bigger, plus you can get involved!

The nominees are now chosen, but this year you can also vote for your favourites in each category! You can vote once per day per category (make sure you are logged in to vote). VOTE HERE!

Proudly brought to you in association with Red Lantern Records, artists and industry professionals from across the globe will attend this year’s event which will be held once again at The Bedford in Balham, London on 23rd January 2025! This is an invitation only event but is the hottest ticket in town!

Also, on January 22nd we will be hosting, in partnership with LMSUK, an artist networking event with live performances. This event will be open to the general public – further information is available here and tickets will be available from Saturday December 14th. Last year’s event was a cracker and with the addition of a networking event, this is an opportunity you will not want to miss!

Not only this – this year there will be 2 new award categories – UK Grassroots Venue Champion for Independent Artists and The Best Wigwam Jam Live Performance and you can get involved!

Is there a music venue you believe goes above-and-beyond in their support for independent artists and grassroots music?

If so you can nominate as many venues as you like so we can produce our shortlist for the UK Grassroots Venue Champion for Independent Artists! You must be logged in to vote!
