Audio & Radio Industry Awards

Leeds is rolling out the red carpet for the radio and audio industry once again as it is announced the city is to host the Audio & Radio Industry Awards (ARIAS) for the second year running.

The ARIAS, launched in Leeds last year by The Radio Academy in conjunction with LeedsBID (Leeds Business Improvement District), are the industry’s flagship awards, celebrating the best of audio, innovation and excellence across all radio platforms and digital audio services.

Returning to the first direct Arena on Thursday 19th October, the evening will again be a star-studded event, hosted by Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills.

Last year saw the Kaiser Chiefs, Rick Astley and Gregory Porter perform live at the ceremony, which was hosted by BBC Radio’s Sara Cox and attended by names including Nick Grimshaw, Clara Amfo, Bob Mortimer, Robbie Savage and the Brownlee brothers.

Performers for this year’s event have yet to be announced but promise to be of the same calibre.
