Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) today announced the 2024 ARIA Awards in partnership with YouTube are set to return to Australia's creative industries capital on Wednesday, 20 November. Held for the third year running at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, on Gadigal land, the 38th ARIA Awards will showcase and celebrate the very best of Australian music over the past year.
The ARIA Awards will premiere live only on Stan, followed by a special presentation on Channel 9 with performances and moments available on-demand on the @ARIA.Offical YouTube channel. The full show will be available on demand on Stan following the official live stream. For all the pre-show excitement, YouTube will also exclusively live stream the Red Carpet globally and the ARIA Awards to an international audience.
The 38th ARIA Awards also celebrates a renewed partnership with Destination NSW as its strategic sponsor. The partnership is a truly natural pairing for ARIAs with Destination NSW's dynamic work in supporting the growth of tourism and events in New South Wales.
The 2024 ARIA Awards will celebrate the sixth year of their partnership with YouTube, which is proudly returning to showcase the remarkable achievements of Australia’s music industry locally and internationally. Over the duration of the partnership the Awards have reached a total of 28 million views and over one million hours of viewing on the platform.
Last year, the ARIA Awards saw incredible homegrown talent claim Australian music’s most sought-after accolades, with highlights including Troye Sivan scooping up four statues, Genesis Owusu winning Album of the Year, G Flip and Forest Claudette both claiming two wins, Kylie Minogue winning Best Pop Release and Jet entering the ARIA Hall of Fame.
This year will be extra special, as the Hordern Pavilion is celebrating its 100th birthday. The legendary venue has hosted many of the world’s leading artists including AC/DC, Amy Shark, Arctic Monkeys, Billie Eilish, Cold Chisel, Coldplay, Crowded House, David Bowie, DMA’s, Fleetwood Mac, Flume, Foo Fighters, INXS, Midnight Oil, Silverchair, The Kid LAROI, The Killers, Thelma Plum, Tones & I, Troye Sivan and many more.
ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said: “Since 1987, the ARIA Awards have represented the pinnacle of achievement in Australian music. The past year has seen a huge number of homegrown Aussie talent making their mark locally and globally and we’re very excited to celebrate these achievements on 20 November at the Hordern Pavillion. We’re also tremendously grateful to all our partners and everyone involved in helping us give Australian music a global platform.”
Minister for the Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy and Minister for Jobs and Tourism, John Graham, said: “I am delighted to see the ARIA Awards return to The Hordern Pavilion, as we celebrate the 100-year anniversary of one of Sydney’s most loved live music venues. NSW is already the nation’s capital for recorded music but we want to elevate the industry’s role in our state’s story, which the ARIA Awards do each year by showcasing our world-class talent. I want to thank ARIA for their advocacy for the industry and for allowing our state to be part of that work.”
VP at Google Australia, Melanie Silva, said on behalf of YouTube: “There's never been a more important time to spotlight Australian artists and their impact on the global stage. We are so incredibly proud to partner with the ARIA Awards for a sixth year, and to help showcase the incredible music coming out of our country. YouTube is where fans discover the sounds they love, and we’re honoured to amplify these voices, giving artists the worldwide platform they deserve. I hope everyone is as excited as I am to tune in on November 20 as we celebrate the best of Australian music, and stream the red carpet glamour live on YouTube.”
Stan Chief Content Officer, Cailah Scobie said: “Supporting local Australian talent is at the heart of our content slate and as the exclusive live streamer of the 2024 ARIA Awards for the second year running, Stan is proud to be the forum that provides millions of Australians the opportunity to celebrate our incredible music industry. We can’t wait to hit play on music's night of nights with Stan being the only destination to watch the full show live and on demand.”
