The UK ‘wildest night of music’, The Bandlab NME Awards, return this 2nd March at the O2 Academy in Brixton, to celebrate music champions from around the globe. The 2022 performance lineup of indie-rock legends from Sam Fender to Robert Smith means the show is set to be larger and louder than ever before.

The immense night of music awards will take place at London’s O2 Arena, where rap legend Lady Leshurr and comedian Daisy May Cooper will present winners and nominees with a vast array of exhilarating awards. The inventive awards span from ‘best song in the world’ to the one and only ‘godlike genius award’ (which will see the first black female solo artist to win the award: FKA twigs). The evening will commend winners and nominees from Halsey to Lana Del Ray for their outstanding contribution to the music industry.

Adding to the innovative and exciting features of this years show, the award ceremony will introduce new categories, like Asia and Australia exclusive categories. Most nominees and winners have been judged by NME’s team of music experts who are seeking the ‘greatest artists in the world.’ But, you can have your say too! As 2022 categories like Hero and Villian of the year are selected by fans and you can cast your vote now.

Closing the thrilling show will be acclaimed Sheffield rock band Bring Me The Horizon. The group is no stranger to the award show after their 2016 Bandlab appearance sent shockwaves through the crowd after they smashed through Coldplay’s table. And we expect this years performance will be no less wild and fun, as when asked about closing the show this year, band member Oli Sykes claimed the band were “literally buzzing”.

The band are not only at the awards to perform. Bring Me The Horizon are also nominated for multiple awards like ‘best live act’ and ‘best band in the world’. The nominations are well deserved after the group’s outstanding contribution to the British music scene through albums like Post Human: Survival Horror.

It’s obvious this year’s Bandlab isn’t one to be missed and tickets are available now !

]]> This week NME Music Magazine has announced that British singer, FKA twigs (AKA Tahlia Burnett) will receive their legendary Godlike Genius Award. The award is presented to groups or solo artists who have significantly shaped the musical landscape.

The well-deserved award commends the young singer’s talent. From her debut album, LP1, in 2014 to her most recent mixtape (Caprisongs) released this year; each of which helped the star influence millions of fans via Spotify and Instagram.

While the star is no beginner at receiving major awards – she previously won MTV’s Best Alternative Artist and a Youtube Music Award – the star remained humble when speaking about her most recent win, claiming the award is “an absolute honour”. The star claimed she felt honoured to see her name among previous winners like Blondie and The Clash.

The award will be presented to Twigs at the Bandlab NME Awards 2022 in the O2 Arena. A night deemed ‘the wildest night in music’ by NME, where FKA twigs will impressively become the youngest and first black female artist to be presented with the award.

With FKA’s iconic music, comes iconic style – Voir takes a look back at the singer’s greatest fashion looks. The star’s adventurous urban style plays with materials from velvet to silk and the star isn’t afraid to experiment with bold and clashing prints like cow print and pinstripe. So come with us as we delve into the wardrobe of up-and-coming music (and fashion) icon.

FKA Twigs Fashion Moments:

In a recent Instagram post, the star confirmed Y2K velour tracksuits are still our favourite lounge attire. Layering up for the chilly streets of London, twigs paired a cream Juicy Couture tracksuit with a leopard print ankle-length coat for a cosy, urban look.

In another Y2K inspired look, the star posed to her Instagram followers in a cropped Vivienne Westwood tee, paired with low rise pants. The star also showed her followers her fun side in a dinosaur-themed hat.

FKA twig’s stylist, Matthew Josephs, dressed the star in a pirate-inspired look for a 2019 shoot. The look featured a renaissance-style corset, pinstripe pants, and gold chains; demonstrating the star’s ability to mix up any two prints and still look incredible.

On the streets of New York City, twigs added a touch of Manhattan glamour to her urban-chic style, in a silk, liquid gold slip dress. The dress was paired with chunky Doc Martin boots, remaining faithful to her casual street style.

On her way to the 2019 Haute Couture shows, FKA brought a black and white twiggy-inspired look to the streets of Paris. Wearing a Valentino bucket hat, little black dress and two-toned cow print boots, the star mixed urban streetwear with 60s glamour to create this ultimate retro look.
