[1] Perhaps one of the notable events during the awards 28 year history, was the ceremony of 2000, in which Slipknot set fire to their table after winning Best Band in the World.

Also that same year, Good Charlotte received disdain from the crowd in attendance when they were announced as winners of "Best Single".

Awards were held on 13 June 2014, at the Troxy in Stepney, in the East End borough of Tower Hamlets.

[6] In an August 2024 interview with former Visible Noise founder Julie Weir on UPWAWR Podcast, she spoke about how Ian Watkins's crimes not only ruined his band the Lostprophets, but also ended her record company.

It was in this same interview she however highlighted the importance of No Devotion winning the 2015 Kerrang Award for their debut album, as she felt it meant that the public still appreciated that the rest of the band were still good songwriters and musicians and everything that was taken away from them, was given back and it was because of this, "one of the nicest pieces of validation the industry could have given them".

[7] The awards ceremony did not take place in 2017, but returned in June 2018 with the likes of Neck Deep, Enter Shikari, Code Orange and Foo Fighters collecting awards, while the event also featured several special guests including Johnny Depp and Justin Hawkins.

[8] The event was not broadcast on TV but several acceptance speeches and interviews were uploaded to Kerrang's YouTube channel, and the ceremony naturally received heavy coverage in the following week's edition of the magazine.
