ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome such a massive line-up to celebrate this year’s ARIA Award nominees live and in-person at the iconic Hordern Pavilion.
The ARIA Awards are all aboutshowing off our incredible, passionate and creative artists and industry – nominated or otherwise – and celebrating with Australian and international music fans.
It’s also an important opportunity to reflect on another transformative year for Australian music and recognise the importance of championing homegrown music from all who create it.
As we begin the final countdown to the Awards with ARIA Week starting Monday, I want to say a huge thank you, and congratulations, to everyone who has had a role in Australian music in 2022.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!”
