Time again for the Moshville Radio Awards 2026, a celebration of the Underground Metal Scene in the UK, raising money for Shelter.
There were awesome things happening on Saturday, 28th March 2026 at The FaceBar in Reading... bands, awards and a gathering to raise money for Shelter, a charity close to the heart of Moshville Radio.
We take pleasure in acknowledging the varied contributions within the industry, appreciating the efforts of everyone, including artists, stage crew, lighting and sound technicians, promotors, and music producers.
Each individual plays a crucial role in the flourishing underground metal scene that we all hold dear.
Proudly sponsoring the charity Shelter, proceeds were donated to an incredibly worthy cause. https://england.shelter.org.uk/
The Moomin Awards are presented to the winners. But not just some UK music pros judging the nominations that we had on board, but also the public voted, so everyone's opinion matters!
With the bringback of Share n' Wear - where clothing and merch is donated and sold for charity!
