MOBO Awards 2022: The full list of nominations

The MOBO Awards has announced its 2022 nominees ahead of its huge 25th anniversary taking place at the OVO Arena Wembley on Wednesday 30 November 2022 and we're delighted to be supporting the Best Jazz Act category.

So, if you haven’t already, check out all the info and how to get tickets here.

Acclaimed London rapper and producer Knucks leads this year’s list with 5 nominations.

And almost 12 months after taking home MOBO’s Best Female Act, Little Simz rounds off 2022 by scooping four nominations.

While Drill MC, Central Cee, also picks up four nominations and Ivorian Doll becomes the first female artist to be nominated for Best Drill Act (supported by Trench).

2022 also sees the addition of two brand new categories, as MOBO proudly welcomes Best Alternative Music Act (in association with Marshall) and Best Dance/Electronic Act (supported by Mixmag).
