London-based singer Sienna Spiro is making her Australian tour debut in January, but first, she’ll visit in November to perform at this year’s ARIA Awards.
She’ll take to the stage at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday, 18 November. Fresh off releasing her debut album, Visitor, all eyes are on Spiro as she picks up acclaim from critics and fans alike.
With her ARIA Awards debut confirmed, Spiro joins an illustrious list of international artists who have performed at the annual celebration of Australian music, including Robbie Williams, Taylor Swift, Pixies, Olivia Dean, Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Khalid, Lorde, One Direction, and more.
“So excited and honoured to be performing at the 2026 ARIA Awards,” Spiro said. “I love Australia and can’t wait to be back!”
While she’s found great international success, with more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify and three singles on the Billboard Hot 100, she’s held listeners’ attention for months in Australia. She’s had six ARIA Singles Chart entries, and Visitor is currently sitting at its 14th consecutive week in the ARIA Albums Chart Top 10.
Spiro’s song Die on This Hill has been certified Platinum in Australia, while You Stole the Show, MAYBE, Material Lover, and The Visitor have all been certified Gold.
Spiro came to Australia for the first time last year and hosted an intimate fan event at Newtown’s Pleasure Club. Her upcoming Visitor Tour, taking place in January 2027, has been met with remarkable demand.
Tickets sold out within hours, with over 30,000 tickets sold and additional shows announced for Melbourne’s Festival Hall, Fremantle Prison, and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion.
More performers and presenters appearing at this year’s ARIA Awards will be confirmed soon.
Last week, it was confirmed that comedians Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald would host this year’s awards.
They won’t be alone on presenting duties. Sydney-based DJ and triple j presenter Latifa Tee will join the hosting team throughout the evening, while the Red Carpet will feature Network 10 presenter Georgie Tunny and Entertainment Editor Angela Bishop, along with Latifa Tee.
The 2026 ARIA Awards will broadcast on Paramount+ from 5 pm AEDT on Wednesday, 18 November.
Network 10 viewers can tune in for the red carpet and award ceremony following that night’s episode of Big Brother. Plus, red carpet moments and early performances will feature on the ARIA accounts on social media from 1 pm.
