The RBE Awards, organized by Rudebone and widely regarded as the “Grammys of the international emerging music scene,” has once again celebrated grassroots talent from around the globe.

Now, the search is on for Nottingham’s finest artists to join this prestigious platform for 2025.

This year’s event at the iconic Clapham Grand in London highlighted incredible talent, from Afrobeats to drill and beyond. For the first time, international stars stood alongside UK artists, proving the RBE Awards is a global celebration of emerging talent. Now, Rudebone and his team want to see Nottingham artists step onto this stage next year.

Whether you’re an up-and-coming rapper, a rising drill star, or a powerhouse vocalist, the RBE Music Showcases could be your ticket to the 2025 RBE Awards.
