The international live music business’s best-loved awards – The Arthurs – are handed out during ILMC’s Gala Dinner, which will take place Thursday, 2 March 2023. And reflecting this year’s focus on the Latin live music market, this edition takes place as The ILMC Gala Fiesta & Arturo Awards.
With thousands of votes compiled from professionals around the world, The Arthur Awards ceremony sees the shining stars of the industry recognised and a handful of lucky winners taking home one of the cherished statuettes.
And as if seeing the top promoter, agent, venue, festival, ticketer and more receive recognition wasn’t enough, the event will once again be compered by hostess extraordinaire Emma Banks.
All 400 guests will be transported from the confines of ILMC’s Alpine spa resort into a Caribbean paradise for a very special night. Amid the birthplace of reggaeton, and with a host of surprises planned, the evening begins with a champagne reception followed by a five-star, four-course feast prepared by award-winning chefs and a selection of fine wines.
The venue for the evening is the lavish Westbourne Suite at the Royal Lancaster Hotel. And with the Gala Fiesta being conveniently located in the ILMC hotel this year, it’s just a few steps away from the after-show party, the delegate bar, and the karaoke.
Dress code: smart.

The ILMC Gala Fiesta & Arturo Awards is hosted by:
THE ARTHUR AWARDS 2023
For more than two and a half decades, the live music industry’s Oscar equivalents have been handed out during ILMC.
The shortlist of nominees in each category are decided by a committee of 150 industry professionals. Winners are then decided by a combination of an open vote of all ILMC members and IQ Magazine readers, and a closed panel of judges made up of senior industry figures.
Voting for The Arturo (Arthur) Awards is now closed. Thanks to all those who took the time to cast their votes.
