The folks behind the 2023 installment of the Heavy Music Awards 2023 have announced the first string of musical performances for the ceremony.

Announced today, Boston Manor, Underoath, Creeper, Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger featuring Sophie Lloyd for an unplugged performance, and Vukovi featuring Scene Queen are confirmed to perform at the event, which takes place at the OVO Arena Wembley on May 26. More performers will be announced closer to the event.

Organizer Andy Pritchard said this about the awards ceremony:

“Since we started this journey in 2017, we’ve been committed to building the HMAs, and kicking down as many walls as we can to give these incredible artists a platform they can be proud of. Staging the biggest ever rock awards show is our most ambitious step yet, but we’ll keep pushing. We can’t wait to welcome everyone for what will be a crazy and memorable night in May!”
