Four years on from helping to launch the category, Nova Twins scooped the Best Alternative Music Act award at last night’s MOBOs.
Nova Twins picked up the award for Best Alternative Music Act at the 2026 MOBOs last night (March 26).
Amy Love and Georgia South made an appearance at Manchester’s Co-op Live to collect the gong, beating stiff competition in the form of ALT BLK ERA, Blood Orange, Hak Baker, Michael Kiwanuka and Rachel Chinouriri.
Earlier this month, Amy reflected in their Kerrang! Cover Story that, “Rock generally gets sidelined from these mainstream platforms. So we were really grateful to Kanya King at the MOBOs for pushing this forward, because without her listening to us and having that conversation [about launching the first-ever Best Alternative Music Act category in 2022], it wouldn’t have happened.
“It’s amazing see all the bands that have been nominated and who are getting that recognition that they deserve. It’s also great for people to have the opportunity to see a band like us play. A young kid might be at home watching the MOBOs, see us, and think, ‘What the hell was that?! I could do that, too!’”
