Shining a spotlight on First Nations musical brilliance

Held annually on the traditional lands of the Larrakia people, the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) celebrate the rich diversity of Indigenous music from across Australia – from emerging talents to international sensations like The Kid Laroi and Jessica Mauboy.

Join us under the stars at Darwin’s historic Amphitheatre as we applaud the winners, soak up the ambiance and celebrate some of the most exciting music this country produces. Featuring performances from Troy Cassar-Daly, Jessica Mauboy, Velvet Trip, Emma Donovan, BARKAA, Kankawa Nagarra, Kobie Dee, Eleanor Jawurlngali & Mick Turner (Dirty Three) and more.
