27th Annual ARIA Awards to Shine from the Star

Following on from the triumphant success of the 2012 ARIA Awards, the most anticipated night on the Australian music industry calendar, the 27th Annual ARIA Awards is set to take place on Sunday 1 December 2013 at the Event Centre at The Star, Sydney.

The 27th Annual ARIA Awards will return to the Nine Networks' digital channel GO! for the broadcast of the ceremony, including all the rock ‘n’ roll festivities from the David Jones red carpet.

Denis Handlin AM, ARIA Chairman and Chairman & CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand and President, Asia said: “ARIA is delighted to announce The Star as the new home of Australian music’s biggest night – the 27th Annual ARIA Awards.

“I’d also like to acknowledge the continued support of the Nine Network and the NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, who are passionate supporters of our local music industry. We look forward to partnering with them again in 2013 as we celebrate a truly remarkable year in Australian music.”

The winners of the ARIA Fine Arts and Artisan Awards will be announced at the 2013 ARIA Nominations event on Tuesday 15 October at the Art Gallery of NSW.

As well as being the year that the ARIA Charts celebrated their 30th anniversary, 2013 has delivered an extraordinary year for Australian music, including 10 number one Australian albums, a feat not achieved since 2004.

With so much diverse talent to be proud of, the 27th ARIA Awards, featuring stellar live performances, unforgettable collaborations and special guest appearances, will be a night to commemorate and recognise these achievements. 2013 has also seen a 50% increase on 2012 in the number of artists and recordings nominated for ARIA Awards by ARIA Members.

Minister for Tourism, Major Events and the Arts, George Souris, said: “The NSW Government is proud to support the ARIA Awards and ARIA WEEK held in Sydney, the home of the Australian Music Industry. Last year, more than 3,000 visitors from overseas, interstate and intrastate came specifically to the Harbour City for the ARIA Awards and ARIA Week, injecting $1.4 million into the NSW economy.”
