The Mercury Prize will return to Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on October 22, 2026, for a second straight year, continuing its shift away from London since the award’s 1992 founding.

Last year, local artist Sam Fender won.
The event is expected to boost the region’s economy and culture, following a £1.4 million impact from a 2025 fringe programme.
The 2026 shortlist has not yet been announced.
The show will be broadcast by BBC Music.
