More than 255,000 concerts have been played around the world in 2017. That’s a whole lot of hours on stage for artists, not to mention time on the road itself.

For the fourth consecutive year, we’ve partnered with the Association of Independent Music to host their list of nominees for the AIM Award for Best Live Act: honoring the artists who have made the most of that time, and celebrating those whose performances made you want to jump around and sing along.

The best part? You get to decide the winner! Below, select from AIM’s pick of this year’s 56 nominees, from debut artists like Sampha to legendary fan favorites Pixies. Embracing the diversity of independent music is a core value of the AIM Awards — but what these artists do have in common is that they’ve all put on spectacular live concerts.

Voting is open now, June 14, until 5 p.m. GBT on June 27. Finalists will be announced on August 1, and the winner announced at the AIM Awards ceremony in London on September 5.

And if you need help making a decision, or just want to relive some of the best concerts of the year, below you’ll find a curated playlist of our favorite work from the nominees. Truly the best of the best.
