Music Industry Trusts Award

Event Details

Music legend, DJ, pioneer and national treasure Pete Tong MBE is to be honoured with this year’s prestigious Music Industry Trusts Award (MITS), in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the music and broadcast industries.

Pete Tong said: “It is a huge honour to be given the MITS Award and to have the opportunity to highlight two exceptional charities, The BRIT Trust and Nordoff Robbins. The past year has seen the music industry suffer like never before – especially the live music and clubbing sectors, but we are strong and optimistic for the future. I proudly look forward to accepting the award at the event this November and continue to represent my industry.”

Celebrating its 30th year this year, the Music Industry Trusts Award is recognised as one of the true benchmarks of achievement in the UK music business and continues to benefit hugely deserving causes year after year. The MITS Award supports two important charities, the BRIT Trust and Nordoff Robbins, and is sponsored by PPL, SJM Concerts, YouTube and Spotify.

The Music Industry Trusts Award has raised over £6.5 million for Nordoff Robbins and the BRIT Trust to date and has earned its respected place in the entertainment industry due to the great names that have held this honour: Sir George Martin, Ahmet Ertegun, Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Sir Lucian Grainge CBE, John Barry OBE, Kylie Minogue OBE, Sir Tom Jones, Gary Barlow OBE, Annie Lennox, Michael Eavis CBE, Simon Cowell, Roger Daltrey CBE, Rob Stringer, Emma Banks, Richard Griffiths and Harry Magee.
