When Metro FM launched the 16th MMAs under the theme, 'what's next is all that matters' in November, 2016, TVOB started preparing for the anticipated more than spectacular event, guided by the theme, of course.
The music awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on Saturday, the 25th of February 2017 at the INkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre (ICC) in Durban. This great spectacle will once again be carried live on SABC 1 with live crossings to the public viewing area in Durban. A live broadcast coverage will be facilitated by SABC TV Outside Broadcasts.
The 16th edition of the Metro FM Music Awards is themed ‘What’s Next Is All That Matters,’ building onto last year’s theme, ‘Legends Don’t Stop, They Ask What’s Next’. The theme indicates that it’s not just about getting that hit song play-listed on
Metro FM, it’s not about finishing off a great album and it’s not about having a great video to go with your track, but about what you do next to continue building onto your glories.
In the past 15 years the MMAs categories have increased reflecting growth in the local music industry, a development that can partly be attributed to the contribution made by the awards. Once again the awards will see winners walking away a R100 000 prize money per category.
METRO FM celebrates talented musicians from not only from South Africa, but across the continent, and Metro FM team proudly supports the collaborations between South African talent and the talents from the rest of the continent as a bid to form a distinctive continental sound, a kaleidoscope of cultures and creativity.
For METRO FM, being the Number one commercial radio station in the country means that they are at the forefront of determining the local soundtrack, and this will be reflected yet again at the 16th Metro FM Music Awards.
