Mercury Music Prize is an annual award given for the best album recorded by artist from United Kingdom and Ireland. The winner is determined by a selected panel of musicians, critics and other members of the industry. Mercury Music Prize is usually regarded as an honor for the non-mainstream performers.

The ceremony itself is set to take place on September 6.
