The ARIA Awards are set to return in 2022 with a full-scale television event that will be broadcast nationally on Channel 9 and streamed to the rest of the world on YouTube.
The 2022 ARIA Awards will be held at Sydney’s iconic live music venue, The Hordern Pavilion.
There have been a host of Australian successes over the past 12 months, with over 67 Australian releases having landed in the Top 10 on the ARIA Albums Chart, and 13 Australian albums reaching #1.
The ARIA Awards celebrates its fourth year in partnership with YouTube, proudly showcasing the achievements of Australian music on a global scale, with last year’s awards clocking over 1.7 million views on YouTube.
With the return of the 2022 ARIA Awards as an in person event, YouTube will livestream the red carpet, providing access to all the pre-show excitement.
Nine are proud to once again be alongside Australia’s local artists and music community with this year’s broadcast.
9Now and Programming Director, Hamish Turner, said:
“Nine are thrilled to welcome back this year’s broadcast of the ARIA Awards. Australian music’s night of nights will once again welcome back a live audience to enjoy brilliant performances from some of the biggest names in the industry.
We are excited to honour and celebrate the incredible talent which makes the Australian music industry one of the best in the world.”
ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said:
“In 2022 we are absolutely thrilled to bring the ARIA Awards back to a full-scale, television event packed with the performances, glitz, and glamour that Australian music fans know and love.
Nine has been a fantastic partner to ARIA over 6 years, as have YouTube and Destination NSW. With their support we can continue to create opportunities for Australian music to be heard in all its forms, by all who create it.
We can’t wait to put on a sensational show at The Hordern in Sydney live and in person on the 24th of November.”
Melanie Silva, Managing Director of Google Australia on behalf of YouTube said:
“We’re back! YouTube is thrilled to partner with ARIA for a fourth year, to support, spotlight and celebrate the Australian music industry and amazing local artists.
YouTube is a place where it’s possible to go from making a music video in your bedroom to booking a world tour – and while the last couple of years involved making more music at home than usual, we can’t wait to help bring Australian acts back to a world stage once again, by streaming the ARIA Awards direct from the iconic Hordern Pavilion this November.
For the first time, we’ll also be bringing viewers all the glamour and excitement of the red carpet, live on YouTube.”
