Ticketmaster has announced the Ticketmaster Awards 2026 nominees, including CMAT, Fontaines D.C., KNEECAP, The Corrs, Florence Road, KhakiKid, and more.

“Spanning every corner of the live landscape – from stadium shows, arenas and Fresh Irish acts to festivals, theatre, comedy and sport – the Ticketmaster Awards recognise the events, artists and productions that brought Ireland together for a brilliant night (or day) out,” said Ticketmaster’s announcement.

Categories for the awards include International Act of the Year, Irish Act of the Year, Theatre and Arts Show of the Year, Sporting Event of the Year, Comedian of the Year, and Podcast or Talk Show of the Year. CMAT, Fontaines D.C., KNEECAP, and The Corrs have all been nominated for Irish Act of the Year, and Florence Road and KhakiKid, both featured in our latest issue (below) have been nominated for Fresh Irish Music.

The Ticketmaster Awards are decided through fan voting. Every fan who votes is also entered for a chance to win a €250 Ticketmaster Gift Card.

Voting is open now and closes on February 1, with winners to be announced February 3.
