\n\tCreated in partnership with the Australian Festival Association (AFA)<\/strong>, the new award aims to recognize music festivals that play a critical role in spotlighting and elevating Australian artists. The initiative also seeks to acknowledge the work of festival programmers who actively champion local talent and provide breakthrough opportunities for emerging acts.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo be eligible, a festival must either feature an Australian artist as its headline act or have a lineup comprised of at least 50% Australian artists. Only members of the AFA may submit nominations, and all submissions will be assessed by the full ARIA Voting Academy.<\/p>\n

\n\tFestival promoters must self-nominate and pay a $400 entry fee (excluding GST). Discounts are available for not-for-profit festivals. Submissions are open now via the ARIA website and will close at 5 p.m. AEST on Monday, Aug. 18.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLive music festivals are absolutely essential to Australia\u2019s broader music ecosystem: connecting artists with new audiences, and creating critical opportunities for talent development,\u201d ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd <\/strong>stated.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBy introducing the ARIA Best Music Festival Award, we\u2019re recognising those festivals that actively prioritise and champion Australian talent. Festivals shape our music culture, drive industry growth, and play a pivotal role in showcasing the diversity and strength of our local music community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTixel CEO and Co-founder Zac Leigh<\/strong> highlighted the growing support for Australian artists, noting the company\u2019s pride in backing ARIA\u2019s recognition efforts. \u201cOver half of Aussie event goers reported attending a music festival in the past year, and more than 70% still see them as a rite of passage for young Australians,\u201d Leigh explained.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cConnecting more of our artists with this love of the festival experience is essential to sustain the Australian music ecosystem now and into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAustralian Festival Association managing director Olly Arkins<\/strong> added, \u201cThis award celebrates the role festivals play in launching careers, building culture and helping Australian music reach new audiences. Festivals are often the first big stage for emerging artists and remain one of the most powerful platforms for artist discovery in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2025 ARIA Awards ceremony will take place later this year. Additional information and submission guidelines for the ARIA Best Music Festival Award can be found on the ARIA website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
