The 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy will honor the year’s hottest names in music determined by year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts. The program, produced by dick clark productions, will deliver a reimagined awards show concept that will entertain fans with music and exclusive content. Performances and award celebrations will take place in global locations, in the midst of sold-out tours, and in custom venues.
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, the BBMAs and Spotify Fans First have teamed up to identify fans who have consumed the most hours of music over the past year and helped drive their favorite artists to the top spots on the Billboard charts. These fans will receive a “golden ticket” granting them access to attend a performance curated by their favorite artists, expressly for the 2023 BBMAs.
The 2023 BBMAs is presented by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott’s travel program and marketplace. One special BBMAs performance and two exclusive acceptance speeches will be hosted at hotel brands within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. Additionally, Marriott Bonvoy will provide a select group of fans access to attend five BBMAs performances via Marriott Bonvoy Moments.
Other sponsors include Lexus, who will surprise a fan with the ultimate VIP treatment. In addition to having the best seat in the house, they’ll enjoy a private ride in a Lexus vehicle to the one-of-a-kind performance.
