The nominees for the annual Q Awards have been announced, with Kendrick Lamar, Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, Janelle Monae, Christine & The Queens and Tom Grennan among the shortlisted artists.

IDLES, The 1975, Janelle Monae, Christine & The Queens, Arctic Monkeys and south London post-punks Goat Girl lead the nominations with two nods each.

Competing for the Q Best Album category are Interpol, Anna Calvi, Noel Gallagher, Arctic Monkeys and IDLES.

Taylor Swift received a nod for Q Best Live Act, as did David Byrne, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Liam Gallagher and Stefflon Don.

Kendrick Lamar was nominated for Best Act In The World Today alongside The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Paul Weller, St Vincent, and Florence & The Machine.

The awards ceremony takes place at The Roundhouse in London, and will include performances from bands including Wolf Alice and IDLES.

Q Magazine editor Ted Kessler said: "We've thought for a while at Q that in a digital world where streaming music is so ubiquitous, the old barriers between musical genres are meaningless. All that matters is whether a song has power, or if an artist makes something to become lost within.

"These shortlists, where Janelle Monae's future-funk rubs shoulders with Goat Girl's garage-punk in Best Track, or where Kendrick Lamar could just as easily be the Best Act In The World Today as Paul Weller, prove that."
