Where are the 2025 ARIA Awards?
This year, the ARIA Awards will take place in… *drum roll ploiseee* Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion!
NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism, Steve Kamper, said he was “delighted” for the awards to make a return to the Horden Pavilion, stating that Sydney is the “nation’s capital for creative industry”.
“I’m delighted to see the ARIA Awards returning to the Hordern Pavilion,” Kamper shared.
“Sydney is the nation’s capital for creative industries, so it’s an honour to have one of our most iconic live music venues as the home of the highest accolade in Australian music.
“The Minns Labor Government has changed the rules around operating hours after dark to bring live music back across NSW and provide a platform for artists, while also supporting venues and businesses that rely on our state’s visitor and night-time economy. I thank ARIA for their advocacy for the music industry and for sharing our values for a thriving live music scene in NSW.”
Who is nominated for a 2025 ARIA Award?
The full nominations list for the 2025 ARIA Awards will be revealed on Thursday, September 25. So, it looks like we’ve got a shit ton of time to speculate and reflect on who will cop a shiny trophy.
That being said, I really hope Western Sydney’s realest, ONEFOUR, finally cop their flowers.
While we wait for all the information to roll out, I’m really, really, REAALLLLY campaigning for ONEFOUR. These “Ladz From The Hood” definitely deserve at least one of the spiky bad bois to take home to the Druitt.
It’s what they deserve!!!
