ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “All of us at ARIA are so proud of this genuinely global-facing industry that proved tonight exactly how much Australia has to be proud of when it comes to homegrown music. I’m beyond excited for the future of Australian music after seeing the incredible talent of the winners, performers, and nominees at this year’s Awards.
"Thank you to YouTube, Destination NSW, all of our partners, and the incredible ARIAs team, especially broadcast EP Craig Campbell and Event Producer Brendan Maher. Here’s to another incredible year of Ausmusic in 2025!”
Minister for the Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy and Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham said: “Congratulations to all the outstanding recipients of the 2024 ARIA Awards.
"The depth of Australia’s music talent again shines through the prism of the ARIAs. The NSW Government is committed to bringing live music back across NSW, which we know is a vital breeding ground for Australian musicians.
"We’re changing the rules that have stymied live performance, we’re providing direct financial support, we’re backing the artists and the sector. I want to thank ARIA for the leadership they have shown in supporting the industry.”
