Northern Ireland Country Music Awards 2025: Celebrating Country Music’s Finest

The Northern Ireland Country Music Awards 2025 is set to be a spectacular event, celebrating the best of country music talent in Northern Ireland. Scheduled for Monday, February 17, 2025, at the Seagoe Hotel in Portadown, this year’s awards will be particularly special as they honor the beloved broadcasting legend, Trevor ‘Big T’ Campbell.
Now in its fifth year, the awards ceremony is unique as it is voted on by the public, making it a true reflection of the fans’ favourite artists. Voting was open until January 13, 2025, and fans were encouraged to cast their votes for their favourite Northern Irish country music artists.
The rules state that all entries must be from Northern Ireland, and any Northern Irish country music artist can be voted for, however there’s a limit of one vote per electronic device.
Unlike many award shows, the Northern Ireland Country Music Awards do not provide a list of nominees, instead, they have a blank space for voters to write their chosen artist’s name.

The event promises to be a night filled with incredible performances from some of Ireland’s leading country music stars, including Cliona Hagan, Robert Mizzell, Trudi Lalor, Dominic Kirwan, David James, and many more. The show will be hosted by Malcolm McDowell, Susan McCann, and Downtown Country, with special guest presenters adding to the excitement.
The night will feature over 40 performers, backed by a six-piece house band led by musical director Mark Vaughan. With unreserved cabaret seating, doors opening at 7:15 PM, and the show starting at 8:00 PM, attendees are in for a night of unforgettable country music entertainment.
Tickets are priced at £30 plus a booking fee, and are available online through Eventbrite. As the event is expected to sell out quickly, fans are advised to secure their tickets soon.

The Northern Ireland Country Music Awards 2025 is not just a celebration of talent but also a tribute to Big T, who was a cherished member of the country music community. His contributions to the genre and his passion for country music will be remembered and celebrated throughout the night.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic event – it promises to be Northern Ireland’s biggest country music night of the year! For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Northern Ireland Country Music Awards 2025 Facebook page or Eventbrite.
