2025 Libera Awards Presented by Merlin

The annual Libera Awards Presented by Merlin is a dinner gala honoring independent musicians and the teams that support them.

This year the Libera Awards will be hosted by Billboard Content Director Delisa Shannon on Monday, June 9, 2025 in New York City’s renowned Gotham Hall.
