For two years everything went differently at the “1Live-Krone” because of Corona – but this year Germany’s music stars will meet again in Bochum for the award ceremony. Two winners have already been determined.
After two years with special editions related to the pandemic, the “1Live Krone” award ceremony will take place again on December 8th in the Centennial Hall in Bochum. However, not everything should remain the same: Germany’s most important music prize, according to the organizers, is to receive a new show design.
The hostess is also new: 1Live presenter Mona Ameziane will lead through the show for the first time on Thursday. Ameziane presents the award ceremony on a new 360-degree stage in the midst of the spectators and prominent guests.
Different categories
The “crown” is awarded in various categories. These include “Best Song”, “Best Female Artist”, “Best Artist”, “Best Live Act” and “Best Newcomer Act”.
In addition to Peter Fox & Inez with the hit “Zukunft Pink”, Lena with “Looking For Love” and Nina Chuba’s “Wildberry Lillet” can hope for an award with the “Krone” for the best song. Lea, Leony and Zoe Wees, among others, have been nominated as best artist. In terms of artists, alongside Clueso, Cro and the DJ Purple Disco Machine are also on the list.
Internet voting decides who the prizes go to. The voting runs until December 7th. Only in the category Special Prize and “Best Comedy” is the “1Live Krone” awarded by the 1Live editorial team.
Special award for Ukrainian initiative
These winners had already been announced in advance: The twins and moderators of the well-known show format “World Wide Living Room”, Benni and Dennis Wolter, received the “Comedy Crown”. The Ukrainian initiative “Repair Together” is honored with the special award. According to WDR, the initiative has been organizing so-called “clean-up raves” since May, where volunteers meet to rebuild houses, for example. DJs will play and there will be food.
