Eight events took place simultaneously around the country last night, celebrating the contributions to live music by some of our best established and emerging acts, with the National Live Music Awards taking place from another year. With the ticketed gala event happening at The Grace Darling Hotel in Collingwood, the Melbourne event of the NLMAs saw the National award winners announced, where the likes of Amy Shark, Gang of Youths (and lead vocalist David Le’aupepe), Yeo, Camp Cope and more took home awards.
Around the country, we had artists including Electric Fields, All Our Exes Live in Texas, Dan Sultan, Lonely Boys, Caiti Baker and more win, while the Live Music Office won the annual NLMA industry award for the night.
The events also raised money for Support Act, with the final totals from each event to be announced soon.
