Today, the music industry comes together at London’s Royal Albert Hall to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the O2 Silver Clef Awards, Nordoff and Robbins’ flagship fundraising event supporting the UK’s largest music therapy charity.
Ticketmaster is proud to sponsor the Best New Music Award, which will be presented to one of the UK’s most exciting artists, Rachel Chinouriri.
Recognised for her remarkable rise and growing impact on the UK music scene, Rachel joins an outstanding lineup of 2026 recipients including P!NK, Melanie C, Jessie J, JADE, James, Franz Ferdinand, David Gray, Lily Allen, Ludovico Einaudi, Max Richter and Sam Fender.
Since 1976, the O2 Silver Clef Awards have raised more than £17 million for Nordoff and Robbins, helping the charity expand its music therapy services across the UK. In 2025 alone, Nordoff and Robbins supported more than 15,500 people through 48,000 music therapy sessions, working with over 300 organisations including schools, hospitals and care homes.
As the awards celebrate their landmark 50th anniversary, this year’s ceremony marks the first time the event has been held at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.
Everyone at Ticketmaster is proud to support Nordoff and Robbins and to celebrate Rachel Chinouriri’s well-deserved recognition with the Best New Music Award. We look forward to joining industry partners, artists and supporters this evening to celebrate the power of live music while raising vital funds for music therapy.
