The Ivors Academy honours for 2026 take place in London on Thursday, Oct. 1, recognising songwriting, composing and music-making across genres. Among the named recipients are Stormzy and James Blake, alongside Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis.
Multiple outlets also highlight additional winners at the same second honours event. NME reports that MNEK is celebrated for songwriting and producing and for his advocacy work for LGBTQIA+ songwriters and artists. Other coverage focuses primarily on the high-profile recipients including Stormzy, James Blake and Emily Eavis, while providing less detail on the remaining award categories.
Overall, the reporting agrees on the date and location of the ceremony and the presence of Stormzy, James Blake and Emily Eavis among the recipients, with differences mainly in the depth of coverage given to other awardees and specific reasons for recognition.
