“Personally, I’m really excited by the stars dominating stages across the world in this year’s hotly-contested Best Dance Release, but it’s certainly not isolated to one genre. This year we get to celebrate a deep list of household names in Australian music that span all genres, highlighting the huge shift in positive momentum that the Australian music industry experienced this year. It’s a time to acknowledge those who are achieving amazing things, and spotlight those who are about to, to ensure we continue this momentum forward into 2025. Congratulations to all of the nominees, their teams, and of course the fans. See you in November!”
Minister for the Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy and Minister for Jobs and Tourism, John Graham, said: “As a huge fan of Australian music, I want to join ARIA in congratulating all the nominees for 2024. This year’s ARIAs demonstrate just how many talented musicians we have, across such a wide range of genres. In NSW the government has been working to revive our live music scene, because it is such an important breeding ground for musical talent. We will continue backing musicians, producers, events and venues to keep Australian music going strong.”
