Recognising Achievement in 2025

Fatea is proud to announce the shortlists for the Fatea Awards. The awards are nominated by the Fatea team and recognise excellence over 2025.

Each award has a shortlist of three and we congratulate all artists on our shortlist as well as the many others that were nominated and every artist and band that released music or performed live during 2025.

No artist is allowed to win more than one award and all have featured in the magazine during the last year. The nominations are listed in random order.

We also have two special awards, Innovative Projects & Lifetime Achievement. Whilst Life Time Achievement speaks for itself, The Innovative Projects Award looks at unusual collaborations and community activity

The winners of the Fatea Awards will be announced during a two hour radio special, this year hosted by Folk Friday Radio on January 11th at 7PM(GMT).
