The who’s who of the Aussie music scene have graced the red carpet moments before the 2024 ARIAS kick off in Sydney. The biggest night in Australian music is being held at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion with stars from all genres strutting their stuff for the cameras. But while many usually take the chance to stand out, many attendees have opted to be more subtle with their attire this year, putting together monochromatic looks.
Troye Sivan, who touched down in Sydney after playing in Adelaide, was rushed along the red carpet off the back of a massive 12 months. Sporting sunnies and stylish grey pants paired with a beige dress shirt, Sivan is Down Under on tour off the back of the Sweat tour with Charli XCX. Nominated for album of the year (Something To Give Each Other), Song of the Year presented by YouTube (Got Me Started), Best Solo Arist and Best Pop Release, this year’s awards come after Sivan won big at the 2023 ARIAS, with his instant hit Rush hailing four ARIAS: Best Produced Release, Best Engineered Release, Song of the Year, Best Solo Artist.
He said it had been “the most insane week of (his) life” while accepting the award for Song of the Year in 2023. “It’s really, really tripping me out,” Sivan said at last year’s awards. Another crowd favourite expected to win big is Royel Otis are up for Album of the Year, Song of the Year (Triple J Like A Version of Murder on the Dance Floor), Best Group, Best independent Release with Ourness/Believe, Best Rock Album, Best Australian Live Act for their PRATTS & PAIN tour, Best Engineered Release with Chris Collins for their Pratts & Pain album, and Best Produced Release for the same album with Chris Collins again up for the award.
The Sydney duo, comprised of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, recently cancelled their December US tour over “devastating family matters”. The group shot up after their cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s hit Murder on the Dance Floor, which had new life breathed into it following the release of Saltburn. Some of Australia’s biggest stars will hit the stage to perform on Wednesday, including The Kid LAROI, Missy Higgins, Jessica Mauboy, Troy Cassar-Daley, Amy Shark, Angie McMahon, and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers More to come.
