UK FESTIVAL AWARDS 2019: THE WINNERS The 16th edition of UKFA honours this year’s winners at Troxy in London.
With various categories for all aspects of festivals that have taken place in the UK – as well as one category for European festivals – the annual UK Festival Awards (UKFA) recognise and celebrate the collective achievements of projects and personnel throughout the British festival industry. Since 2017, the UKFA have been held at Troxy, the music and events venue in Stepney, London. Returning to a familiar stomping ground, all corners of the festival industry gathered on 5 December, hoping to take home one of the 21 prestigious accolades.
Presented by rapper, comedian and actor Doc Brown, the UKFA ceremony was book-ended by an extended drinks reception and in-house afterparty with music from DJ duo, Scratch Perverts. Speaking at the ceremony, Michael Baker, Awards Manager for the UK Festival Awards, commented: “We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all of those who participated in and attended the UK Festival Awards 2019, including all of our sponsors, supporters and judges. We’ll see you next year for the Awards’ 17th edition.”
