Every year, the NRJ Music Awards (NMA) are held in Cannes, a not-to-be-missed event that rewards the most influential and popular artists of the year. Since their creation in 2000, these awards, organised by radio station NRJ in partnership with TF1, have become a benchmark on the French-language and international music scene. In 2024, the NRJ Music Awards will return for another spectacular edition, celebrating rising stars as well as iconic figures on the music scene.

The NRJ Music Awards ceremony has always been a landmark event for the music industry. Held in the prestigious city of Cannes, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, it attracts renowned international artists and French-speaking talent every year, as well as millions of television viewers around the world.

For artists, being nominated or receiving a trophy at this event is an important recognition of their success with the public. Indeed, one of the special features of the NRJ Music Awards is that the winners are elected by the fans. The public vote, which can be cast online, directly reflects the international popularity of the artists.

For the 2024 edition, the programme looks promising, with live performances, surprise collaborations and tributes to major figures in the music industry. Here's a sneak preview of how the evening will unfold:

1. Opening ceremony:

As every year, the ceremony will kick off with a grand opening. This year, the honour could go to an artist or group who has left their mark on the year 2024, setting the tone for the rest of the evening.

2. Award categories:

The NRJ Music Awards cover a wide variety of musical categories, aiming to reward the best artists in their respective fields. The main categories include :

• Francophone Male Artist of the Year
• Francophone Female Artist of the Year
• Francophone Breakthrough Artist of the Year
• International Breakthrough Artist of the Year
• Francophone Song of the Year
• International Song of the Year
• International Collaboration of the Year
• DJ of the Year
• Music Video of the Year

These prizes are awarded after weeks of intense voting by fans, who choose their favourite artists. In 2024, names such as Angèle, Stromae, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Eminem, Shaka Ponk and The Weeknd are tipped to feature in the nominations, given their success this year.

3. Live performances:

One of the most eagerly-awaited moments of the NRJ Music Awards is undoubtedly the live performances. Every year, renowned artists take to the stage to deliver memorable performances. In 2024, rumours are circulating about new collaborations and surprise performances that could include artists such as Doja Cat, Jul, Måneskin, or the explosive duo Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro. At the same time, French-speaking artists such as Vianney, Aya Nakamura and Slimane are also expected to delight audiences.

4. Tributes and retrospectives:

The NRJ Music Awards are also a time to honour music legends. In 2024, a special tribute could be paid to artists who have left their mark on previous decades or to those who have left us recently. These emotional moments, combining retrospective videos and tribute performances, add a more solemn dimension to the evening.

5. Coup de cœur’ moment:

The ceremony is not just a competition between artists. Each year, a ‘Coup de Coeur’ from the audience or the organisers is awarded to an artist who has made an impact this year, either through their talent, their commitment or a special performance. This prize is often one of the most eagerly awaited, as it highlights an artist who has been particularly appreciated by critics and fans alike.

One of the strengths of the NRJ Music Awards is that they bring together French-speaking and international artists on the same stage. This creates unique exchanges between different musical cultures and opportunities for collaboration between stars from all over the world.

The presence of international artists at the NRJ Music Awards is also a way of highlighting the importance of France in the global music industry. Thanks to platforms such as YouTube, Spotify and TikTok, French-speaking artists now have a much wider international reach than ever before. The NRJ Music Awards play a key role in celebrating this expansion.

Beyond the music, the NRJ Music Awards are also an evening of glamour and fashion. Artists arrive on the red carpet in often spectacular outfits, created by top fashion designers. This aspect adds an extra dimension to the evening, with fans and media eager to discover the looks of their favourite stars.

The event is usually presented by one or more charismatic hosts. For several years now, Nikos Aliagas has held this position, bringing both warmth and professionalism to the evening.

The NRJ Music Awards have a significant impact on artists' careers. Not only can the recognition gained through an award boost an artist's career, but the ceremony itself attracts worldwide media attention. Performances and collaborations presented on stage often go viral, reaching audiences far beyond France.

Nominated artists also see their tracks gain visibility, with increased sales and streams following the ceremony. This is testament to the importance of this event, not only for the artists themselves, but for the music industry as a whole.

The NRJ Music Awards 2024 promises to be a memorable evening for music fans around the world. Between the dazzling performances, the moments of recognition and the unexpected collaborations.
