Star-studded Forth Awards celebrates the very best of Edinburgh

The Forth Awards, presented by Livingston Designer Outlet, has announced tickets are now on sale for listeners and fans to join the star-studded ceremony this autumn. Taking place at The Usher Hall on 13th November 2025, the awards show will feature performances from top names in music and entertainment, whilst honouring and celebrating community heroes.

One of the biggest nights in Edinburgh’s music calendar, The Forth Awards honours local heroes and organisations going over and above for their community, as well as a top-secret line-up of celebrities from across music and entertainment. Previous winners and performances include Lewis Capaldi, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Deacon Blue, Amy Macdonald, Erasure and Simple Minds, with the line-up kept secret until the day itself.

Hosted by Boogie and Arlene from Forth 1’s breakfast show, the afternoon show is the perfect start to winter festivities, with fans, listeners and guests packing out the Capital’s Usher Hall to enjoy music, comedy and musical theatre performances.

Plus, the awards panel reviews hundreds of listener nominations for categories that recognise those who go the extra mile in communities across Edinburgh and the Lothians - from the best teachers, restaurants and workplaces as well as the Forth Cash for Kids award.

Richie Jeffrey, Commercial Events Manager from Hits Radio Scotland said, “We are so proud that The Forth Awards at The Usher Hall is back again and we can’t wait to reveal a stunning line up and, of course, some wonderful winners. Tickets are selling fast as always so if people want to come and join in the fun, they should act now.

Karl Chapman, Head of Service - Heritage, Cultural Venues, Museums and Galleries said, “It's always a delight to have the Forth Awards in the Hall celebrating local talent and contributions. The excitement brought to the city by the awards is something we're honoured to be part of, and we’re so looking forward to this marvellous celebration.”
