The 2019 ARIA Awards nominations have been released, and it's a who's who of Australian music, recognising some Aussie artists that have had a monster 2019.
Tones and I has continued her huge year, having been nominated for eight ARIA Awards, including Best Independent Release, Best Video, and Song Of The Year. The nominations come just after she made ARIA chart history, so it's been a good week for the Byron Bay musician.
Meanwhile, Thelma Plum has scored six nominations, including Best Cover Art for her album Better In Blak, which saw her perform at Splendour In The Grass, Groovin' The Moo, and deliver a killer Like A Version.
The ARIA Awards ceremony will be held at The Star Event Centre, Sydney, on November 27th. They'll be hosted by none other than Guy Sebastian, who's been nominated for four awards himself.
If you're looking to support your favourite artist, then you'll want to vote for the Best Video and Song Of The Year categories. All you need to do is search 'ARIA Vote' and follow the prompts. You've got until 11:59pm, November 20th to vote.
