    The 2020 ARIA Awards nominations have been announced, and Tame Impala, Sampa The Great and The Kid Laroi all smashed it out of the park.

    Tame Impala received seven nominations, Sampa racked up six nominations and The Kid Laroi got a trio of noms. Sia was also nominated for two awards.

    International artists weren't forgotten either, with Dua Lipa and Lizzo both nominated for Best International Artist.

    Speaking about the nominations, Dan Rosen, the chief executive of ARIA says, “It’s been a year we will never forget. Our industry has taken a hit, but the creativity of our local artists has not.

    "Our artists have shown great resilience and their music has helped many Australians get through these tough times.” We couldn't agree more.

    The ARIA Awards will be held at Sydney's Star Casino, but it'll look a little different. It'll be broadcast live to air, but there won't be an audience or a red carpet.
