On October 31, 2025, the 30th ceremony of the Golden Gramophone National Music Award was held at VTB Arena. This year, which celebrates its anniversary, the award made changes to the system of selection of laureates: there will be a three-stage system, during which artists will be awarded three times during the year. Russian radio also announced that the performers will influence the results of the vote.
The hosts of the evening were Valdis Pelsh, Regina Todorenko and Anton Yuriev, emphasizing the continuity of the award - Valdis Pelsh acted as entertainer in 1996, and Anton Yuriev has been leading the morning show "Russian peppers" for 10 years. Regina Todorenko for the first time performed as the host of the ceremony.
It is characteristic for the Golden Gramophon that it involves multiple winners of the award, who in 2025 received unique gold statuettes created together with the Bronnitsa Jeweller brand. The awarding of a special Golden Gramophon for “The Best Performance at a Football Match” was awarded to the song “Mother Earth” by Tatiana Kurtukova.
The final number of the concert was the composition “Music is Flowing”, performed by all the winners of 2025. The grandiose award ceremony can be seen in the New Year holidays on the NTV channel.
