This flagship annual event continues to serve as a powerful platform to celebrate and reward excellence in Zambia’s music industry, while promoting high-quality productions suitable for radio and other media platforms.

The 2025 Awards Ceremony will be held at the prestigious Mulungushi International Conference Centre on the 29th of November 2025.

We are confident that the 7th Sun FM Kwacha Music Awards 2025 will be another memorable milestone—celebrating Prestige, Excellence, and Honor—as we continue to uplift Zambian music to greater heights.
