Danny Dyer is the host of the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025

It’s official: Danny Dyer will host the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025, in what is set to be the biggest rock and roll knees up of the year.

The charismatic cockney, BAFTA winner, former landlord of the Queen Vic, proud descendant of Thomas Cromwell and all round national treasure will be steering the ship when our party for the ages returns to the Roundhouse on November 20.

Danny said: “Alright then you lovely lot, I am buzzing to be hosting the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025. It’s going to be bigger and better than ever and I can’t wait to get amongst it. Let’s have it!”

As host, Danny will be the man to oversee a ceremony which includes a selection of stellar live music performances and the induction of 15 very special award winners into the Rolling Stone UK Hall of Fame.

The Rolling Stone UK Awards is returning in 2025 for its third year, having previously been attended by a galaxy of music stars – ranging from New Order, Fontaines D.C and Nile Rodgers to Yungblud, Ezra Collective, Jessie Ware and Skepta. Stow-shopping live performances have also come from Jade, Louis Tomlinson, English Teacher, The Last Dinner Party and Confidence Man.

Further guests have included leading industry names, invited media and artists from across film and television including Danny’s Rivals co-star David Tennant, Daniel Kaluuya and Toby Jones. 

More than 500 guests will gather to see a top crop of talent pick up their awards, but rest assured that Rolling Stone UK’s presence in print and digital forms and across social will mean that those not in the room aren’t at risk of missing out either.

The event is newly-supported by ZYN – the world’s No.1 nicotine pouch brand* that offers a smoke-free, tobacco-free alternative in a variety of flavours and nicotine strengths for adult nicotine users – following a year-long partnership with Rolling Stone UK.

Nominations for the awards have already begun, with nods for The Live Act Award, The Group Award, The Breakthrough Award, The Festival Award, the Artist Award and The Record Label Award already announced.

The winners will be unveiled on the evening of 20 November and celebrated in a special Awards edition of Rolling Stone UK magazine, published the following morning.
