Dave Reid, Choice Music Prize co-founder, commented: The RT Choice Music Prize continues to highlight, promote & support Irish music annually. We are delighted to be hosting the 20th edition of the project in 2025 and right now music across all genres in Ireland is in its healthiest state ever. We would like to thank all our partners and supporters down through the years as we strive to continue to shine a light on quality Irish music both domestically and internationally into the future.
RT 2FM's Head of Music, Adam Fogarty said: Once again, 2FM is delighted to continue our partnership with the RT Choice Music Prize for the 9th year running. With this year holding particular significance as the 20th Anniversary of this very important prize. Through our partnership, we're delighted to be able to continue to celebrate all that is great about Irish music and Irish artists. Through the Irish Artist of the Year', Irish Breakthrough Artist of the Year' and Classic Irish Album' categories, and the longstanding Irish Song of the Year' and the preeminent Irish Album of the Year' prizes we are able to more broadly represent the incredible past, present and exciting future of Irish music. 2FM will continue its support as the flagship partner station, with content and promos across our platforms over the coming months, and this will be reflected more widely across the entire organisation as we get closer to the awards night.
Jim Carroll, Choice Music Prize co-founder and chairperson of the judging panel, added it's quite something to be talking about the 20th outing of this event. I firmly believe that the longevity of the Choice Music Prize is due to how Irish bands and musicians have actively and enthusiastically supported the event over the years. It is clear that they value its integrity and independence, as well as its impact on their profile and careers. On the occasion of the 20th Choice, we want to salute and thank the hundreds of musicians who've joined us along the way.
The Irish Album of the Year 2024 will be announced live from Vicar St on RT 2FM in a special show 7-11pm on Thursday 6th March. The show will feature live performances from some of the shortlisted acts, further details on the line-up to be announced soon.
