That’s a great honour.
As the broadcast partner, you’d think Nine would still get to air this on 9Now and maybe across their socials? Good that they’re still going ahead, instead of just cancelling them like the Logies.

But it’s a shame that for the first time in three decades there will be no TV broadcast.
TBH, it would not be massively surprising if all future ARIA Awards ceremonies were produced as an online-only event. Don’t think the TV broadcasts have rated all that well for many years anyway…

You’d think they could at least have it on 9Go! It’s out of ratings season anyway.

ARIAS dazzle in a famous news venue
The 35th annual ARIA Awards will go to air live under the roof of Sydney’s spectacular Taronga Zoo for the first time on Wednesday, streaming free at 7.30pm AEDT on 9Now.
The awards will feature exclusive performances from some of Australia’s most successful global exports, including The Kid LAROI who shot to stardom after his collaboration with US rapper Juice Wrld, along with emblematic electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL with an entrancing performance of their popular single Alive , all the way from Los Angeles.
They will be joined by a stellar, all-Australian lineup including eight-time ARIA Award winner Amy Shark alongside Genesis Owusu, Budjerah and Gretta Ray.
In the year we lost one of the music industry’s legends, Michael Gudinski, who was pivotal in discovering many of the world’s biggest names, ARIA have renamed the Breakthrough Artist Award after him, and Ed Sheeran will present it in a special video tribute.
This year’s list of nominations highlights the extraordinary talent across a wide range of genres, with Hip Hop newcomer Genesis Owusu and Amy Shark leading with six each. The incredibly talented Budjerah has five nominations alongside Midnight Oil, Tones and I and Vance Joy. Other artists with multiple nominations include Matt Corby, Kylie Minogue, Keith Urban, Ball Park Music, Ngaiire, The Kid LAROI and RÜFÜS DU SOL.
It wouldn’t be Australian music’s most celebrated ceremony without an impressive string of presenters which this year, as well as worldwide heart throb Ed Sheeran, includes international electropop queen Charli XCX, Australia’s long-loved legends The Wiggles, and previous ARIA Award winners Ruel, Troye Sivan and Lime Cordiale.

It was a fairy short event tonight, the pre-show and the ceremony itself added up to around two hours. The rain in Sydney could be partly to blame.

Not sure if this should be in the ARIA Awards thread or the music thread.
Last week, singer Tasman Keith called for changes to the ARIA Awards voting system, revealing that his acclaimed debut album, A Colour Undone, didn’t meet the voting criteria for either Best Hip Hop Release or Album of the Year.

A Scottish singer to host an Aussie award show? WTF? Hopefully viewers will be able to understand his accent. And Natalie Imbruglia was relevant about 25 years ago.

The ARIAs are a celebration of AUSTRALIAN music and should be hosted by AUSTRALIAN music stars or TV hosts. Why bother importing hosts from overseas?

A few years back there was controversy when the ARIAs wanted to have overseas performers on the show. Now they want them as hosts.
