ZYN returns as headline partner of the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards for a second year. The 2026 ceremony takes place on 19 November at London’s Roundhouse.

Last year’s event saw Sir Bob Geldof collect The Lifetime Achievement Award, Lewis Capaldi win The Artist Award, FKA twigs take The Album Award, and Biffy Clyro beat Oasis to The Live Act Award.

The night closed with Noel Hogan of The Cranberries joining Royel Otis for a moving performance of ‘Linger’, in tribute to Dolores O’Riordan.

ZYN’s music presence stretches across the festival calendar too. Bossmans by ZYN, a pop-up off-licence concept built around a hidden stage behind a set of “fridge doors”, has turned up at Cross The Tracks in Brixton and Parklife in Manchester this year, hosting sets from Manga Saint Hilare, Wookie and El-B, among others.

“At ZYN, we believe music and culture have a unique ability to bring people together, inspire new ideas and shape conversations. That’s why we’re delighted to return as headline sponsor of the Rolling Stone UK Awards for a second consecutive year,” says Dor Mator, head of ZYN, PMI UK.

“Our partnership with Rolling Stone UK reflects a shared passion for celebrating creativity, originality and the people driving culture forward. Last year’s Awards were an incredible showcase of talent, and we’re excited to be back to recognise the artists, creators and innovators who continue to push boundaries and leave their mark on the cultural landscape.”

Nominees, performers and further details for the 2026 ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards ceremony will be announced soon.
