The MOBO Awards 2016 ceremony was held at SSE Hydro in Glasgow on 4 November 2016 and hosted by radio broadcasting duo Rickie Haywood Williams and Melvin Odoom; it was live streamed on ITV2, later deferred on ITV.
Nominees were announced on 21 September 2016, with Kano and Laura Mvula leading the field with four nominations each. The ceremony featured 15 award categories, with each going to a different act.
During the Best Song category, a major envelope mix-up led the hosts to incorrectly announce WSTRN as winners for "In2", while "Robbery (Remix)" by Abra Cadabra featuring Krept & Konan played in the background — the actual winning track. MOBO organisers later apologised, holding a "production error" accountable for the mix-up.
