RBE Awards 2026 Gala Dinner

Aim

Help us produce RBE Awards 2026, celebrating independent music excellence and taking our community-driven awards platform global.

RBE Awards was created to celebrate real talent, real growth, and real impact within the independent music community in London and beyond.

Founded in 2017, Real Business Entertainment (RBE) began as a music showcase platform giving emerging artists a stage to perform, connect, and grow. As the platform expanded, the RBE Awards was born designed to recognise and reward the best artists and industry professionals who performed on the RBE Music Showcase platform throughout the year.

Over the last eight years, RBE Awards has grown from a grassroots initiative into a nationally and internationally recognised awards event, welcoming artists from across the UK and beyond. What makes RBE Awards special is its credible and transparent system combining public voting with an independent judging panel ensuring fairness, integrity, and community trust.

🎯 Our Vision

Our vision is to continue building a credible, inclusive, and global music awards platform that uplifts independent artists, connects creatives, and provides real opportunities for growth, exposure, and collaboration.
