The NIMAs - National Indigenous Music Awards - have been postponed.
The much-loved awards ceremony was due to take place on 7 August at the Darwin Amphitheatre but has now been postponed to later in the year due to the ongoing COVID situation in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia and the subsequent border closures and travel restrictions.
"It is unfortunate yet the best choice for all our artists and community that we move this year’s event to ensure the night celebrates togetherness,” said NIMA Creative Director Ben Graetz of the postponement.

"Community support and ticket sales have never been higher than this year and it is clear that First Nations artists have never had more to celebrate.
"We look forward to having the opportunity to honour the incredibly talented artists who have contributed to putting First Nations music on the world stage at a later date in 2021."
This year's nominees included The KID LAROI, Sycco, Baker Boy, Birdz, Miiesha, Tia Gostelow and more.
