Stone to be laid for Mobo founder Kanya King

King was awarded a CBE in 2018 for her contributions to music and culture.

A BBC programme to mark the 30th anniversary, presented by DJ Target, will take viewers through some of the most defining moments, performances, and cultural milestones from the Mobo stage since it was first founded.

The programme, MOBO 30: Iconic Moments, will air on 11 November on BBC One and iPlayer.

The anniversary celebrations will also see V&A East Storehouse present a special temporary display featuring a selection of memorabilia from the Mobo archive.
