The nominations for The Ivors 2025 have been announced – with Irish acts Fontaines D.C. and Orla Gartland both featuring in the prestigious Best Song Musically And Lyrically category.

The original score for the Kneecap film, composed by Michael 'Mickey J' Asante, has also scored a nomination in the Best Original Film Score category.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Ivor Novello awards – which remain a major celebration of exceptional achievements in songwriting and screen composing.

The winners are set to be revealed at a ceremony at Grosvenor House in London on Thursday, May 22.

Fontaines D.C.'s 'In The Modern World' and Orla Gartland's 'Mine' are up against tracks by Laura Marling ('Child Of Mine'), RAYE ('Genesis.'), and Lola Young ('Messy'). This is Orla's first ever Ivor Novello nomination.

"As a songwriter this is a dream come true," the Dublin artist remarked online in response.

As was previously announced, U2 are set to make history at this year's awards, as the first Irish songwriters inducted into the Ivors Academy Fellowship in its 81-year history.

"Everyone knows The Ivors are the most joyful celebration of music making in the calendar," comments Tom Gray, Chair of The Ivors Academy. "Many of the most talented and creative people on the planet get together to celebrate each other’s exceptional originality and craft. Congratulations to all of the remarkable nominees this year. It’s a huge privilege for The Ivors Academy to champion music creation in all its forms.”
