Nadat meer dan 620.000 festivalfans van over heel de wereld hun stem hebben uitgebracht, kunnen de organisatoren van de European Festival Awards de namen van de genomineerden bekendmaken. Op 15 januari komen we  tijdens een galashow, die Eurosonic Noorderslag opent in De Oosterpoort te Groningen, te weten wie er met de hoofdprijzen aan de haal gaat.
