The stars aligned tonight for the MOBO Awards.
For more than two decades, the ceremony has served as the top beacon of honor for Music of Black Origin in the UK.
Celebrating its 26th anniversary at Sheffield‘s Utilita Arena, this year’s edition of the world-renowned show saluted the names and releases that have made the last twelve months so action-packed.
The evening, which was hosted by Babatunde Aleshe and Indiyah Polack, brought with it seismic performances from the likes of the Sugababes, Ghetts, So Solid Crew, Byron Messia, DJ Spoony, and more.
