Julia ZemiroThings are heating up at the 2018 APRA Awards with the host, venue, and date confirmed for this year’s big event.
Mark Tuesday, 10 April in your calendars because that’s when all the APRA action is set to go down at the International Convention Centre Grand Ballroom on Sydney’s Darling Harbour, hosted by none other than the multi-talented Julia Zemiro.
"For 12 years as the host of Rockwiz, I have had the sweetest gig: working with six generations of Australian artists, watching them work at close range and learning about their trials and tribulations," Zemiro said.
"Hosting the APRA Music Awards is a wonderful celebration of many of these artists, their songwriting skills and the publishers who get them out there."
This year’s awards will also be the final under the leadership of outgoing CEO Brett Cottle who has been with APRA for more than 40 years.
“It has been my great privilege to honour Australian songwriters and publishers at every APRA Music Awards since its inaugural event in 1982,” Cottle said.
“Though much has changed over the decades, what has stayed the same is that our songwriters continue to push the boundaries, passionately put in the work, and bravely create songs with meaning”
The nominees of the 2018 APRA Music Awards will be announced on Thursday 15 March.
