Album of the Year Live

Lauren Laverne hosts from the awards ceremony at London's Eventim Apollo. This year, the programme features the announcement of six finalists from the shortlisted 12 albums.

Lauren Laverne hosts Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Four's Best Album of the Year 2016 - Mercury Prize Live from the awards ceremony at London's Eventim Apollo.

This year, for the first time, the television programme will feature the announcement of six finalists from the shortlisted 12 albums - one of which has been chosen by public vote and the rest by the panel of judges who selected the shortlist and who will decide the ultimate winner of the Prize tonight. Lauren will introduce performances on stage, and the programme will also reflect back across 25 years of the Mercurys, marking this milestone anniversary of the prestigious Prize, and culminating in the thrilling moment the winner is announced live.

Prior to the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Four programme, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Red Button will feature an hour-long show from 8-9pm, fronted by Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio 6 Music presenter, Shaun Keaveny, also at the Awards ceremony. It will showcase the music of all 12 of the shortlisted acts, featuring many of them performing on stage earlier in the evening.
