The National Indigenous Music Awards has confirmed Jessica Mauboy and Dan Sultan will headline this year’s awards ceremony.
Returning to Darwin’s iconic Amphitheatre on August 10, the event will also feature sets from Eurovision Australia breakout stars Electric Fields, Gumbaynggirr rapper Tasman Keith, Indigenous choir collective Spinifex Gum, Yorta Yorta soprano Deborah Cheetham, Larrakia nation’s enbi Dancers and Indigenous violinist Eric Avery.
“Whether it is acknowledging greats of the past or discovering the talent of the future, the NIMAs continue to hold an important place in the Australian music calendar for both recognition and discovery of First Nations talent,” National Indigenous Music Awards Reference Group Chair Warren H. Williams said last month.
“The event continues to evolve and cement its relevance across the year to show Australia the wide range of amazing music that Indigenous people contribute to Australia’s musical canon.”
Nominations are still open via the National Indigenous Music Awards website, where you can also find more details around the event and purchase tickets.
