Music-lovers, mark your diaries: the 2025 ARIA Awards will unfold on Wednesday 19 November 2025, live from Sydney’s iconic Hordern Pavilion. With Spotify as a partner, this year’s show is designed to celebrate both Australian talent and international artistry on one stage.
Olivia Dean, the British soul-pop sensation, is slated to perform for the first time on the ARIA stage and marks one of the most exciting international appearances of the night. Her arrival in Sydney ahead of the show has already generated buzz with the singer currently in the country for her slate of shows. Adding to the list of powerhouse drawcards is Kacey Musgraves. The Grammy-winning country-pop star, will be presenting during the show.
Alongside them, a vibrant roster of Aussie talent will perform or present — think Missy Higgins, Baker Boy, G Flip, Thelma Plum, Young Franco, and more.
