The Aussie music industry’s night of nights is here – the 2019 ARIA Awards – where we pile the majority of the country’s creative wizards into the Star in Sydney, fill ’em with booze, and get them to schmooze while also handing out numerous awards that could very well maim someone if improperly handled.

Amongst the glitz and glamour from the red carpet (which we’ve already questioned and/or praised today) and the performances from the likes of Halsey, Dua Lipa, Khalid, and hosting duties from our first Lord Of Pop, Guy Sebastian, there has been a bunch of nominees that have been shifting nervously in their seats, which I damn hope have been allocated very closely to one of the various bins of booze scattered across the theatre.
Good luck on your 2019 ARIA Awards office sweeps, and best of luck to Tones And I, who leads the charge with a whopping eight (8) noms.
Without further ado, here are your big winners from the 2019 ARIA Awards.
