		</div><p>The Mobo Awards will mark its 23rd year with a special “homecoming” show – returning to its spiritual home of London for the first time in six years.</p>
<p>The event, which launched in 1996 and celebrates music of black origin, will take place at the SSE Arena, Wembley, on November 12 2020.</p>
<p>The awards champions rising stars such as J Hus and Stefflon Don as well as honouring established figures including Idris Elba and Stormzy.</p>
<p>It comes after the annual bash took a year off while organisers worked to revamp the brand.</p>
<p>The show’s 2017 edition, held at First Direct Arena in Leeds, saw grime rapper Stormzy clean up, winning the best male, best album and best grime star awards.</p>
<p>Organisers promised next year’s edition would feature “some of the world’s hottest new acts” and “unforgettable history-making performances”.</p>
<p>Founder Kanya King said: <em>“We felt empowered to bring Mobo back to Brent to coincide with the borough’s Year of Culture because this is where our fight to challenge the status quo to create a level playing field started.</em></p>
<p><em>“We are returning with even more determination and energy to support and boost our culture wherever we can.</em></p>
<p><em>“2020 will see many positive changes that will impact more and more talented young people – very proud to be back and to help ensure that the generation will also dare to dream.”</em></p>
<p>The first edition of the Mobo Awards saw drum and bass producer Goldie bag best album for his record Timeless during a star-studded event at the New Connaught Rooms in London.</p>
<p>Mobo also supports charitable work such as the UnSung Talent Competition, a talent development programme supported by PRS Foundation, with the last round supported by stars including Craig David.</p>
