All The Action From The ARIA Awards Red Carpet

Last night was big for Baker Boy, aka Danzal James Baker OAM, who claimed five wins for his critically acclaimed album Gela and also put on a stunning performance.

The Indigenous rapper picked up the coveted Album Of The Year award alongside Best Hip Hop/Rap Release and Best Solo Artist. At the same time, Gela won Best Cover Art via Adnate and Best Mixed Album, the latter of which was secured thanks to the efforts of album engineers Pip Norman, Andrei Eremin and Dave Hammer.

Other big winners at tonight's ceremony held at the Hordern Pavilion on Gadigal land included Amyl & The Sniffers, who won Best Group and Best Rock Album and also performed Guided By Angels during the event, and Tones & I, with Cloudy Day being crowned Song Of The Year.

Hosted by Natalie Imbruglia, G Flip and Ruel and broadcast across Channel 9, 9Now and YouTube, the first live and in-person ARIA Awards since 2019 saw attendees and viewers at home treated to some stunning performances, including various tributes throughout the night.

As previously reported, the ARIA Hall of Fame was suspended this year in favour of tributes to Olivia Newton-John, Archie Roach and Judith Durham.
