Billie Eilish and The 1975 head Q Awards 2019 nominations

Billie Eilish and The 1975 lead the nominations for the Q Awards 2019, with four nods each.

Eilish is nominated for Q Best Track, Q Best Solo Act, Q Best Album and Q Best Act In The World Today, while The 1975 are nominated for Q Best Track, Q Best Album, Q Best Live Performance and Q Best Act In The World Today.

Stormzy and Lewis Capaldi are both nominated for three gongs, while Little Simz, Slowthai, AJ Tracey, Liam Gallagher, Lana Del Rey and Dave have two nominations each. 

Q editor Ted Kessler said the 2019 shortlist is longer than it has ever been due to "how brilliant music is right now". 

Held in association with Absolute Radio, the event will be hosted by Camden Roundhouse on Wednesday, October 16. An exclusive pre-awards gig with Biffy Clyro will take place at the same venue the night before. The awards will again feature a special intimate post-awards gig, which will be announced soon.
