Best Experimental 2026 Nominees

Not every music video plays it safe: some rewrite the rules!

Today is the perfect day to introduce the nominees for the Best Experimental category, where we find artists who dare, surprise, and redefine what a music video can be. From the boldest concepts to the most unexpected techniques, from the creative use of abstract and unconventional visual solutions, these videos push the boundaries of innovation and leave you breathless.

Prepare to be amazed June 11th to 13th. Tickets are going fast!
