aria awards
The Kid LAROI is among the raft of musicians who will perform at the 2024 ARIA Awards later this month, on Nov. 20.
The Australian musician will undertake a homecoming when he returns for the Australian record industry’s flagship awards ceremony, which is being held at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion for the third year running.
Though the content of his performance has not been detailed, The Kid LAROI is nominated in four categories at this year’s awards, including for Best Solo Artist and Best Hip Hop/Rap Release for the deluxe reissue of his 2023 album, The First Time, which peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 in August.

The Gadigal-born artist with Kamilaroi roots is also nominated for Best Pop Release thanks to “Girls”, which debuted at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July, and Song of the Year for “Nights Like This”, which peaked just four positions higher at No. 47 that same week.
To date, The Kid LAROI has won three ARIA Awards from his 14 previous nominations, with Hot 100 topper “Stay”—his 2021 collaboration with Justin Bieber—winning him Best Artist and Best Pop Release in 2021, and “Thousand Miles” winning the latter award again the following year.

Additionally, the ARIA Awards’ performance schedule will be rounded out by a number of Australian performers, which currently includes CYRIL, 3%, Jessica Mauboy, Julian Hamilton from The Presets, Troy Cassar-Daley, Amy Shark, Angie McMahon, and Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers.
2024 ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Missy Higgins will also appear on the night, performing a medley of her hits as she’s joined by a variety of her friends and previous collaborators.
The evening will also feature a pair of American artists by way of Kane Brown and Ava Max, with the latter performing her hits “Sweet But Psycho” and “Kings & Queens”, alongside nascent collaboration “Forever Young”, which was recorded alongside David Guetta and features vocals from original artist Alphaville. Currently, the track sits at No. 21 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, having made its debut last week.
“It has been an absolutely huge year for Aussie music and this year’s ARIA Awards will showcase that landmark moment as our artists celebrate major success on the global and local stage,” said ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd. “The 2024 ARIA Awards nominees aren’t just loved at home; they’re commanding audiences from Europe to the U.S. to Asia and collaborating with international icons while bringing a distinctly Australian perspective to the cultural conversation.
“With local and international stars joining us both on the red carpet and on stage, the 2024 ARIA Awards will celebrate Australian music’s powerful role in the global conversation with some spectacular performances, unique collaborations, and a couple of sneaky surprises. See you in two weeks!”
Genesis Owusu leads with way with seven nominations for the 2023 ARIA Awards, ahead of Troye Sivan, Kylie Minogue, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and others.

Born in Ghana and raised in Australia’s capital, Canberra, Owusu has dominated awards ceremonies in these parts since the release of his dynamite debut from 2021, Smiling With No Teeth. It could be a situation of history repeating with Struggler, his sophomore album, which is up for album of the year, best hip hop/rap release, best independent release and more at the ARIAs. Struggler has already collected hardware, snapping up independent song of the year, for “Get Inspired,” at the 2023 AIR Awards.
The set, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart in August, also earns Owusu an ARIAs nod for best solo artist, a stacked category that features the likes of Minogue, Sivan and The Kid LAROI.
Close behind on the nominations count is Dom Dolla, G Flip and Sivan, each with six chances; while Budjerah and DMA’S are up for five, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Minogue and The Teskey Brothers are nominated in four categories; while Amy Shark, Brad Cox, Cub Sport, Dan Sultan, Matt Corby and Peach PRC nab a hattrick of nods.
Set for Nov. 15, the ARIAs return to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion for the second successive year.
“With over 60% of this year’s nominees coming from independent labels,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd, “we’re excited to celebrate success stories from across the Australian music industry, and showcase exactly what we’ve got to the rest of the country and the world.” Leading the way is indie powerhouse Mushroom Group, whose labels roster accumulates 20 nominations (DMA’S, Minogue, The Teskey Brothers, Sultan, Julia Jacklin, Lastlings, Alex Lahey & Gordi).
“Congratulations again to everyone nominated,” adds Herd, “we can’t wait to celebrate with you in November.”
Those celebrations will include an ARIA Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the first since 2020. As previously reported, Jet is this year’s honoree, with the four-piece rock group tapped on the 20th anniversary of their debut album Get Born.
The 37th annual ARIAs, the Australian recording industry’s flagship awards ceremony, will premiere live on Stan for the first time (from 5pm local time). That live stream will be followed by a free-to-air feed from commercial TV broadcaster the Nine Network (from 7.30pm local time) with performances and moments available on-demand on the @ARIA.official YouTube channel.
The 2023 edition marks the fifth year in partnership with streaming giant YouTube, an alliance which has reached some 29 million views. Last year’s awards captured more than 1.7 million views on the platform, according to YouTube, which will also live stream the red carpet globally.

A proud Yolngu man, Baker Boy’s triumphant night included wins for album of the year (for his debut Gela), best hip-hop/rap release, and best solo artist.
Shortly after accepting album of the year with a prepared speech in his native Yolngu language, Baker Boy delivered a rendition “Meditjin” with his band and dancers, and a solo performance on Yidaki, the Aboriginal word for didgeridoo in eastern Arnhem Land.
The rapper, singer and dancer (real name Danzal Baker) has been in untouchable form at Australia’s awards ceremonies of late.
At the 2022 NIMAs in August, he took home artist of the year and album of the year (for Gela), which peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In 2021, the year Gela was released, Baker Boy received an Order Of Australia (OAM) medal for “service to the performing arts as a singer and musician,” to go with his young Australian of the year honor, from 2019.
Also at the 2022 ARIAs, Amyl and The Sniffers won a pair of pointy trophies, for best group and best rock album for Comfort to Me, their A2IM Libera Award-nominated sophomore set. The punk rockers and their power-packed singer Amy Taylor delivered one of the night’s fiercest moments with a performance of album track “Guided By Angels.” With their brace tonight, Amyl lifts their career ARIAs tally to three.
The Wiggles have been enjoying a year like no other, during which the legendary children’s entertainers scooped the triple j Hottest 100 poll for the first time with their cover of Tame Impala’s “Elephant,” and bagged a first No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with ReWiggled.
At the ARIAs, held at the Hordern Pavilion, the famous foursome won for best children’s album and best Australian live act — a fan-voted category — for The OG Wiggles Reunion/Fruit Salad TV Big Show Tour.
Yolngu surf-rock band King Stingray won the Michael Gudinski breakthrough artist trophy, named after the late, legendary Mushroom Group founder and presented by Gudinski’s son, Matt, now CEO of the independent music powerhouse.
Earlier, the Stingers earned song of the year for “Milkumana” at the NIMAs.
British pop star Harry Styles snagged most popular international artist, one of four fan-voted categories, beating out the likes of Taylor Swift, Adele, Billie Eilish and Drake. The former One Direction star now has three ARIAs in his collection.
Other winners on the night included electronic trio Rüfüs Du Sol (producer – best produced album); The Kid LAROI (best pop release for “Thousand Miles”); Casey Barnes (best country album for Light It Up); pub rock trio The Chats (best hard rock/heavy metal album for Get F***ed), and DJ/producer Luude (best dance/electronic release for “Down Under”).
Wearing a black Adidas tracksuit, Tones And I was on hand to collect the publicly-voted song of the year honor for “Cloudy Day,” her fifth ARIA.
Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese, a passionate music fan, gave a shout out to all the artists — winners and the losers. “Music can tell Australian stories, it can make a difference to our lives, it can be uplifting,” he said in a video message.
Free-to-air network Channel 9 and its digital channel 9Now beamed out the ARIAs live, and YouTube streamed the show for international audiences.
The ARIA Hall of Fame was absent from this year’s show. Instead, organizers used the platform of the ARIAs to salute three Hall of Famers who died in recent months, Olivia Newton-John, Archie Roach and the Seekers’ Judith Durham, with tributes from the likes of Imbruglia, Budjerah, Thelma Plum, Jess Mauboy, Dami Im, and Tones And I, who served as music director for the special spot.
