Billie Eilish and The 1975 lead the Q Award nominations with four nods each.
The 17-year-old singer and the ‘Love It If We Made It’ hitmakers have both secured a total of four nominations – out of seven categories – for the upcoming annual awards ceremony hosted by Q Magazine in association with Absolute Radio, which will be held at Camden’s Roundhouse in London on October 16.
Billie has bagged nominations for Q Best Track, Q Best Solo Act, Q Best Album, and Q Best Act In The World Today, and she will compete against her nomination rivals The 1975 in the Best Track, Best Album, and Best Act In The World Today categories.
The quartet – comprised of Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, and George Daniel – are also nominated for Q Best Live Performance, giving them a total of four nominations too.
Following closely behind with three nominations each are Stormzy – who is up for Best Track, Best Solo Act, and Best Act In The World Today – and Lewis Capaldi, who is in with a chance of winning Q Breakthrough Act, Best Track, and Best Solo Act.
Also securing nominations this year are the likes of Little Simz, slowthai, AJ Tracey, Liam Gallagher, Lana Del Rey and Dave, who all received two nods each.
The awards ceremony will be preceded by an exclusive and already sold-out pre-awards concert at the same venue on October 15, where Biffy Clyro – who are nominated for Best Act In The World Today – are set to headline.
