The 2010 Meteor Music Awards ceremony took place on Friday 19 February 2010 in Dublin.[1] They were presented by Amanda Byram. The launch took place in La Stampa on 7 January 2010, and was attended by The Coronas and Danny O'Donoghue from The Script.[2]
Bell X1, Christy Moore, Florence and the Machine and U2 each received three nominations. U2 received no awards to the surprise of The Coronas and The Script who beat them in two of the three categories.[3] Westlife won Best Irish Pop Act for the tenth consecutive year.[4] The list of performing artists on the night included international acts such as Dizzee Rascal, Pixie Lott, Paolo Nutini, The Script, The Temper Trap and Westlife. Snow Patrol were also announced but later cancelled their scheduled performance.
The event had sold out by early February. It was broadcast on RTÉ Two on 21 February 2010, at 21:00.
