Mercury nominations out later this month
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 6 July 2011
The Mercury nominations will be announced on 19 Jul. Yes, that is about the same time that they’re announced every year, but I thought you might like to know so you can get ready to complain about them.
Lauren Laverne will take to the stage in the basement of The Hospital Club in London at 11.30am and read out the list of names. There will also be performances from some of the nominees.
Laverne told CMU: “There’s been so much great music released this year. I’m sure the judges will have an even more challenging job than usual choosing the final shortlist of twelve albums of the year. It’s certainly looks like it should be a really strong line-up”.
The winner will be announced on 6 Sep. Unless the world ends, or everyone gets bored and just doesn’t bother.
