First handed out to rockers Primal Scream in 1992, the annual £25,000 (1.1 million baht) prize shortlists 12 albums released by British and Irish acts in the United Kingdom in the past year.

Considered less mainstream than Britain’s pop music honours the BRIT Awards, the Mercury Prize is open to all music genres.

Rock band Wolf Alice, who previously won the award in 2018, secured a nod for The Clearing, becoming the first act to be nominated for all of their first four albums.
