Back as an in-person event for the first time in several years, the MAMA Awards show also is changing up the format a bit. The evening will feature longer sets by three 2023 finalists — Kat and the Hurricane, The Mascot Theory and The Rascal Theory — with live and recorded award presentations between bands. There will also be music from DJ Femme Noir, and emcees Rob Dz and Ty Christian will host the evening. Tickets at the door (and if you won a 2022 award, it can be picked up at the event).

THE SCHEDULE: This year's event is more music show than awards show. Each band plays for 30 minutes, with live and recorded awards presented in between.
THE VENUE: Seating is limited. We'll have small tables in the main room and more, larger ones in the bar area. There are monitors in the bar so you can see what's happening on stage. Table and chairs are first come first served. (If you have a specific seating need, let us know.)
THE DRESS CODE: Rock 'n' Roll Casual Semi-Formal. It's not the Overture Center, but it's still an awards show! Be comfortable, be fabulous.
PHOTO OPPS: There is a backdrop for photographs. Professional photography from Keith Robert Wessel Photography. (No live red carpet interviews this year.)
TROPHY PICKUP: We have the 2022 trophies, as well as a few from the past. If you have a MAMA trophy to collect, you can get it here.
