The National Live Music Awards (NLMAs) are an Australian nationwide event of live shows in every state and territory to honour the live performance of music acts, without taking into account possible releases or recordings. They have been held annually since 2016.

Awards

As of 2019, four awards are voted on by the public in every state and territory (making 32 in total), while the rest - including all national awards - are voted on by a group of judges from around the country.[1]

The best venues for live acts, the best festivals or live music events and industry figures are also awarded.

History

The National Live Music Awards are the successor of the AU Live Music Awards, held in 2014 and 2015 and run by music publication The AU Review. That website's founder, Larry Heath, serves as the Director of these awards.[2]

At the inaugural edition on 29 November 2016, there were eight live award shows, one held in each capital city, across every state and territory, awarding the regional winners, while at the gala show in Sydney, the nationwide winners were announced. [3] Ngaiire was the night's big winner, with three awards, including Live Voice of the Year.[4]

The second event was held on 7 December 2017, with simultaneous events in Launceston, Alice Springs, Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide, Fremantle (Perth), Collingwood (Melbourne) and Brisbane.[5] Sydney band Gang of Youths won four awards at the event, while Melbourne group Camp Cope won three.[6]

The third annual event was held on 6 December 2018, with a new award to recognise live music photographers and the introduction of "The Sheddy", the new name of the Live Drummer award in memory of the late Iain Shedden, who was one of the award's judges in its inaugural year.[7] Magic Dirt were the recipients of the inaugural Live Legends Hall of Fame Induction at the 2018 ceremony in Brisbane. Additional events were held in Melbourne, Canberra, Wollongong, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Perth.[8]

The fourth annual awards, held on 4 December 2019, saw Electric Fields take home three awards, including two of the biggest of the night, Live Act of the Year presented by APRA AMCOS and Live Voice of the Year presented by Panhead Custom Ales. Deborah Conway was inducted as a Live Legend at the gala ceremony in Brisbane, held at The Triffid for the second consecutive year.[9]
