I honestly don’t know how she keeps getting hosting gigs. She is terrible.

The same Concetta Caristo that presents ABC’s NYE Coverage? All she does there is giggle uncontrollably.
I don’t listen to Triple J much these days, so I don’t know what she’s like there. But obviously must have some good music knowledge?

So 10 has been advertising the ARIAs as on Paramount, but not their own channel?
Typical 10.
A combined promo would be better

Fairly sure they’ve been promoted as both 10 | Paramount+ and then separately as just P+ for the full live broadcast from 5pm as above.
Obviously streaming is the main play here given its live and being used as a draw card and subs driver, so they’ll need to promote that more.
If you scroll back, Nine/Stan did exactly the same.
I have yet to see a 10 promo
Oh FINALLY 10 are advertising this.
Big Brother & ARIA combined promo seen on 10Play at 7.20pm tonight - no idea if it aired on linear
It did
Dom Dolla makes history as first recipient of ARIA’s new Global Impact Award Presented by Spotify
The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) is thrilled to announce a brand-new award joining the line up for the 2025 ARIA Awards: The ARIA Global Impact Award presented by Spotify.
The ARIA Global Impact Award presented by Spotify recognises Australian recording artists who have demonstrated outstanding breakthrough international success and cultural influence, celebrating those making an impact for Australian music through artistry, innovation, and global connection over the 12 months prior to the Awards.
Australian music has never travelled further or faster. From global festival stages to viral moments online, artists are capturing the attention of audiences around the world and redefining what it means to sound Australian. The international success of homegrown talent not only creates new opportunities for artists but also strengthens Australia’s cultural influence and creative economy on the global stage.
Designed to sit alongside the prestigious ARIA Hall of Fame, the ARIA Global Impact Award presented by Spotify will be presented at the discretion of the ARIA Board to an artist whose international achievements exemplify Australia’s influence in contemporary music worldwide.
The recipient of the inaugural Global Impact Award will be Australian DJ, producer, and songwriter Dom Dolla.
Over the past year, Dom Dolla has continued to redefine Australian electronic music on the world stage, earning his first Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording at the 66th GRAMMY Awards for his remix of Gorillaz’s ft. Tame Impala & Bootie Brown’s "New Gold". Dom has sold out headline tours across the US, UK, Europe, and Australia, including two landmark shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, sold out Alexandra Palace in London, headline festival performances at Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza Chicago, Bonaroo Tenesse, Reading & Leeds Festival, Creamfields UK, and most recently completing a 10-week residency at the world’s #1 club, Hï Ibiza.
In 2024, Dom reached new heights, selling over 170,000 tickets on his Australian homecoming tour: the largest-ever tour by an Australian electronic artist. He also became the first solo electronic artist to feature on the cover of Rolling Stone AU/NZ, where he also received the Rolling Stone “Global Award”. Dom has amassed over 1.5 Billion streams globally including over 450 million Spotify streams this year, frequently with more than 10M monthly listeners. Dom is a strong advocate for Australian electronic and dance music globally and consistently promotes and shares the achievements of other Aussie artists in the genre.
ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said: “We couldn’t be more proud to launch this brand-new ARIA Award with an artist as exciting and generous as Dom, who smashes ceiling after ceiling when it comes to the world’s expectations of what an Aussie electronic artist can achieve. He is an integral part of the vanguard of new Australian artists proving that a sustainable and record-breaking career in music is achievable through hard work, determination and creativity: something Aussie artists have in spades. He is also an amazing ambassador for Aussie music and is hugely supportive of his fellow dance and electronic artists. So many things to love, congrats Dom!”
Australian music has never travelled further or faster. From global festival stages to viral moments online, our artists are capturing the attention of audiences around the world and redefining what it means to sound Australian.
The international success of homegrown talent not only creates new opportunities for artists but also strengthens Australia’s cultural influence and creative economy on the global stage. That is why we are introducing the new ARIA Global Impact Award: to recognise outstanding achievement and success by an artist in taking Australian music to the world.
Spotify’s Head of Music AUNZ, Ben Watts, said: "Dance and electronic music continue to be among Australia’s biggest drivers of music export, and Dom Dolla’s rise is a powerful example of that global momentum. Together with ARIA, we’re proud to celebrate Dom’s extraordinary achievements with the first ARIA Global Impact Award presented by Spotify as he continues to help shape Australia’s global cultural influence.”
Dom Dolla said: “It’s such an honour to receive this award from ARIA. I really try to do my best to fly the flag for Aussie dance music overseas so I’m so grateful. Australian music is the best, the talent and output across the board is incredible. I can’t wait to see who receives this award in the years to come because there are so many deserving artists, but I’m incredibly grateful to be the first recipient

Seeing the performers list, it’ll be good promotion for Olivia Dean in Australia, especially when it comes to the Hottest 100 in 2 months from now.
