The 31st Annual ARIA Awards will return to Australia’s home of entertainment, premiering from Sydney around Australia on Tuesday, November 28 on Channel Nine.

The ARIA Awards are the most anticipated night on the music industry calendar. With iconic live performances and collaborations, as well as a very special Hall of Fame induction, the ceremony will celebrate the great successes of Australian artists at home and abroad.

Denis Handlin AO, ARIA Chairman and Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand and President, Asia, said: “We are delighted to bring the ARIAs back home to the Nine Network, which has hosted so many of the ARIA Awards’ most memorable moments. The Nine Network has a long association with the ARIA Awards, having hosted the event’s inaugural broadcast in 1992. We look forward to working with Nine’s CEO Hugh Marks and his team to produce a world-class event that celebrates our incredible artists and their amazing achievements this year.”

ARIA Chief Executive Dan Rosen said: “ARIA is excited to partner with the Nine Network.
