Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m.

"We’re thrilled and honored to bring the WAMI Awards Show back to Turner Hall this year," Zoy Begos, newly-elected WAMI president, said. "Turner’s mission as a venue to showcase and support established and emerging artists is the perfect fit for our ongoing goal of honoring Wisconsin artists and their accomplishments."

In addition to presenting awards in over 30 categories the show will feature a variety of live music performances and a salute to three Hall of Fame honorees.

A complete list of nominees will be posted on WAMI's website in late February. General admission tickets are $35, $15 for students, $59.99 VIP single and $99.99 VIP couple. Tickets will be on sale on Feb. 6 at the Turner Hall box office or here.
