Here are the nominees for The Breakthrough Award at the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025
These are the stars who made their indelible mark on 2025
By Nick Reilly
The ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025 is less than a month away, and we’re hugely excited to kick things off with our nominees for The Breakthrough Award.
Our annual shindig takes place at the Roundhouse on November 20 and will include four stellar live music performances and the induction of 15 very special award winners into the Rolling Stone UK Hall of Fame, all overseen by a host befitting of the occasion.
And now, it’s time to kick off the nominations. The Breakthrough Award recognises six acts that have made their mark on 2025 and arrived on the scene with tunes which prove that British music has the brightest of futures ahead of it. There’s a guitar-toting troubadour from Luton who has supported Ed Sheeran, two individual stars who performed at Rolling Stone UK’s Future of Music showcase earlier this year, and a boundary pushing DJ. And that’s just for starters…
Without further ado, we present the nominees for The Breakthrough Award.
