This evening, the who’s who of the Aussie music industry will (at times virtually) assemble for the 2020 ARIA Awards.

In a truly one of a kind ceremony, the event will go ahead without a formal red carpet event or a live audience.

Hosted by Delta Goodrem, audiences will also be treated to an array of performances from local legends like Tame Impala and Sia, as well as international dynamos like Billie Eilish and Sam Smith.

As if that wasn’t enough, Tones and I, Amy Shark and Delta Goodrem will be joining forces to pay tribute to the late, great Helen Reddy.

Leading the charge with nominations are Lime Cordiale and Tame Impala, who are up for eight and seven awards respectively.

You can find the full list of winners from the 2020 ARIA Awards below.
