Overview
- The recording academy announced a Hall of Fame class of six—Gurrumul, Jenny Morris, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End, and Vika & Linda—with the ceremony set for June 11 at Carriageworks in Sydney.
- The inductions will be staged as a standalone event, marking the first multi-act Hall of Fame ceremony in more than a decade.
- Leaders praised the selections, with ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd highlighting their lasting influence and Arts Minister Tony Burke welcoming the lineup while nodding to Morris’s New Zealand roots.
- The class includes a posthumous honor for Gurrumul, recognized for blending Yolŋu songlines with Western forms and for a legacy that drew global acclaim before his death in 2017.
- The broader ARIA Awards return on November 18 at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, with a live stream on Paramount+ and a broadcast on Network 10.
