Tickets for the ceremony, which include a drinks reception, three-course meal, access to the after-party and a host of live performances, will be available from June 3.
Commenting on the 20th Anniversary edition of the awards, AIM CEO Paul Pacifico said: “The Independent Music community is a lightning rod of diversity, innovation and cultural relevance. The AIM Independent Music Awards reflects and celebrates the sector’s successes across both culture and commerce, recognising the dynamic, creative and entrepreneurial people and businesses that continue to drive the agenda both at home and abroad. This year we are delighted to take the awards to the iconic Roundhouse and invite music fans to celebrate alongside the artists and their teams.”
