About Drum & Bass Awards - 20th Anniversary

Twenty years of a genre-defining ceremony brings together artists, producers, DJs and label heads for one afternoon of recognition and celebration. Categories span production, DJing and scene contributions, with winners decided by a mix of industry panels and public votes. The crowd skews knowledgeable and loyal, many having followed the same names since the early years of the awards.

A milestone anniversary means past winners and genre veterans are more likely to appear than in a typical year, and the afternoon slot allows for an evening of parties and aftershows to follow.

Where to stay nearby

Birmingham itself is the obvious base, sitting a single kilometre from the venue and offering the widest choice of hotels by far, from budget chains to central options within walking distance. Sutton Coldfield, about 10km out, is a smaller and quieter alternative with a handful of hotels, suited to those who prefer to stay outside the city centre and take a short drive or train in. Cheltenham is a further-flung option at 66km, useful mainly if Birmingham availability runs low around this anniversary edition, and it has a large hotel stock to fall back on, though you should plan on an hour or so of travel each way.
