Nigerian music superstar Tiwa Savage has been announced as one of the first artists set to perform at the 2026 MOBO Awards.
The announcement comes as the prestigious awards ceremony prepares to celebrate its landmark 30th anniversary on March 26 at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester.
Savage is featured in the first wave of performers, leading a powerful trio of women recognised for shaping the sound of contemporary Black music, alongside acclaimed artists Olivia Dean and FLO. Her inclusion highlights her significant impact on the global music scene and her role as a leading figure in Afrobeats.
The ceremony will be hosted by global hip-hop icon Eve and acclaimed comedian Eddie Kadi. While more performers and special honourees are yet to be revealed, the initial lineup promises a night of electrifying performances celebrating Black music and culture.
The MOBO Awards are recognised as Europe’s biggest and most influential celebration of its kind, and the 30th-anniversary event is expected to deliver a series of powerful tributes and culture-defining moments, with Savage’s performance poised to be a major highlight.
