URGENT UPDATE: The highly anticipated 2025 ARIA Awards will showcase an electrifying lineup of both Australian and international music superstars on November 19, 2025. Set to stream live from the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney at 5:00 PM AEDT, this year’s event promises unforgettable performances and exclusive collaborations that celebrate the very best in music.
British sensation Olivia Dean, fresh off her GRAMMY nomination and the release of her sophomore album, The Art of Loving, will make her ARIA stage debut. With over 4.5 billion global streams, including 236 million in Australia, Dean’s performance is expected to be one of the night’s highlights.
The event will also spotlight an impressive array of homegrown talent. Artists including Baker Boy, Missy Higgins, and G Flip are set to deliver ARIA-exclusive performances. In a remarkable first for the ARIA Awards, all five nominees for the Best Soul/R&B Release category—Boy Soda, Larissa Lambert, PANIA, Jerome Farah, and Jacotene—will perform together with a 15-piece band. This showcase highlights the vibrant creativity within Australia’s R&B scene.
Star-studded presenters will enhance the evening’s excitement. Hosts Tim Blackwell and Concetta Caristo will be joined by notable figures including Kacey Musgraves, Tyra Banks, and Amy Shark. Throughout the night, artists and presenters will celebrate excellence across 29 award categories, including Album of the Year and the newly introduced Best Music Festival award.
Annabelle Herd, CEO of ARIA, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “This year’s lineup encapsulates everything that makes Australian music world-class. Each performer and presenter represents a part of our story—one that’s deeply local but heard all over the world.”
The event aligns perfectly with AusMusic Month. Mikaela Lancaster, managing director of Spotify AUNZ, noted, “Australian music has never sounded louder or prouder. The 2025 ARIA Awards lineup is stacked with incredible performers who embody everything that makes our industry so special.”
