It’s THE evening that many music lovers wait for every year. After the Cannes Film Festival, which was held from May 14 to 25, 2024, the Croisette will host the NRJ Music Awards in a few months. Hosted this year by Nikos Aliagas, the ceremony will be held on Friday November 1, 2024 at the Palais des Festivals. This 26th edition will be broadcast on TF1 from 9:10 p.m.
One year after the controversy at the NRJ Music Awards
And this is not the only good news that TF1 reveals, this June 17, 2024, on social networks. With the city of Cannes, the first channel announces in fact “the renewal of the partnership for 2 additional years 2025 and 2026”in his press release.
For the list of nominees, we will have to wait until next September, as tradition dictates. “ The list of nominations by category will then be made public and submitted to Internet users’ votes until the day of the ceremony. » explained NRJ radio, on its site.
Last year, Vitaa, Dua Lipa and Jain were crowned. Bigflo & Oli were the big winners on the night of Friday, November 10, 2023. Exceptionally, the evening was recorded in the afternoon, before its broadcast on television. Unfortunately, the organizers had to make a difficult decision. In fact, only 11 of the 18 categories had been honored as a bonus. The rest was announced during the end credits, creating controversy among artists like Matt Pokora, in particular.
Nikos Aliagas absent
A year before this fiasco, in 2022, production also had to organize hastily in the face of an unforeseen event. Nikos Aliagas’ package changed the situation. Injured on the set of a Star Academy bonus, the television man had to give up his place to Camille Combal. Fortunately, the one who also hosts Dancing with the Stars, and Mask Singer, amazed Internet users when hosting the NRJ Music Awards… It was Friday November 18, 2022.
