The PLAY – Portuguese Music Awards have as their mission to celebrate and promote the greatest successes of Portuguese music, encouraging dissemination and consumption, and assigning popularity stamps to nominated artists and winners, thus contributing to the cultural and economic development of our country. The event will take place on April 3, 2025, live at the Colosseum of Recreios in Lisbon, with live broadcast by RTP1, RTP Africa, RTP International, RTP Play and Antena1.

Promoted now exclusively by Audiogest, a non-profit association dedicated to the collective management and defence of the rights of phonographic producers as well as to the promotion of national music, the PLAY Awards hold the largest meeting of professionals in the music industry, being considered the great celebration of Portuguese music, occupying a relevant place in the calendar of publishers, artists, producers, agents, managers and the general public.

Thus, together with its partners, Audiogest – Association for the Promotion of Music has been promoting this reference event for seven years, immediately to carry out one of the missions that are legally assigned to management entities, which aims to encourage cultural creation and promote, rewarding, the results of this creation. The continuation of this event is also possible thanks to all economic agents who license the music they use and thus contribute not only to the remuneration of the creators but also to the realization of this initiative, which we are sure will also serve to value the cultural product that helps to characterize and promote many of the activities developed in Portugal.
