NME Awards 2015 Nominations In Full

17th Dec 2014

NME magazine have revealed the full list of final nominations for their always controversial NME Awards ceremony in 2015. This year the awards are apparently sponsored by a US city and state – we’re not quite sure why.

Taking place on Wednesday, February 18 at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, music fans have already cast thousands of votes across 22 categories. Kasabian lead the nominations this year with a somewhat unbelievable eight in various categories, which probably speaks volumes.
