Australian music’s night of nights is set to rock GO! as the ARIA Awards celebrate 25 years in a special television event on Sunday, November 27, from 7.30pm.­

With a star-studded list of award presenters on hand including Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden, pop princess Delta Goodrem, Hamish and Andy, Triple J’s Tom and Alex, Erin McNaught and Adam Hills, who will come out on top?

In line with the 25-year anniversary, the Australian Record Industry Association will induct more outstanding performers into the ARIA Hall of Fame, including our famous musical exports Kylie Minogue and The Wiggles.

  1. To be fair, Tara *could* be living in regional WA or SA… In which case her lack of access to GO! wouldn’t be her fault. If not… well… you better crack to it Tara!

  2. The funny thing is. This year has actually been brilliant for Australian music. Gotye has had the longest #1 run for an Oz artist in about a decade. Drapht, Havana Brown, Boy & Bear, Jessica Mauboy have charted well. So it’s quite diverse the success as well. Pity the ARIA Awards themselves are a shambles.

    @tara, who can’t get digital tv? It’s November 2011….
