\n\tARIA has inducted artists into its Hall since 1988. That first class featured Dame Joan Sutherland, Johnny O\u2019Keefe, Slim Dusty, Col Joye, Vanda & Young and AC\/DC. In 2005, the trade body created a standalone ceremony ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame, when multiple acts were elevated. It was televised, it resonated with music fans, but proved short-lived as the industry struggled in a post-digital download landscape. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor 2011, the Hall of Fame induction became a spot within the ARIA Music Awards<\/a>, with two new inductees. Then, from 2012, just one act has been inducted each year at the ARIAs.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince that first class, scores of Aussie legends have got the nod, from Cold Chisel, to Kylie Minogue, Yothu Yindi, Kasey Chambers, Olivia Newton John, INXS, Crowded House, Archie Roach, Missy Higgins, Tina Arena, and last year\u2019s inductee<\/a>, You Am I.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso announced today, May 27, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End, Vika & Linda, Kate-Miller Heidke, Dan Sultan and Mia Wray will perform career-defining hits at the ceremony, organizers say, while the late Gurrumul will be remembered with \u201ca moving celebration\u201d with family members.<\/p>\n

\n\tVeteran broadcaster and music champion Myf Warhurst is host of the show, to be presented at Sydney\u2019s Carriageworks on Gadigal land. \u201cTo be part of the 40th anniversary ARIA Hall of Fame<\/a> is incredibly special,\u201d Warhurst comments in a statement. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThese artists have shaped Australian culture, soundtracked generations and influenced how we see ourselves through music,\u201d she continues. \u201cFrom the power and emotion of Gurrumul, to the energy of Spiderbait and The Living End, and the iconic voices of Kate Ceberano, Jenny Morris and Vika & Linda, this is a line-up that truly reflects the depth and brilliance of Australian music. It\u2019s going to be loud, joyful and full of unforgettable moments \u2013 exactly what the Hall of Fame should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ARIA Hall of Fame Special Event is supported by the NSW Government through Sound NSW, and assisted by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts and Music Australia.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, the 2026 ARIA Awards in partnership with Spotify be presented Wednesday, Nov. 18 at Sydney\u2019s Hordern Pavilion. The recording industry\u2019s flagship ceremony will stream live on Paramount+ and returns to the free-to-air commercial broadcaster Network 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Australian Recording Industry Association\u2019s special 40th anniversary Hall of Fame event has a special broadcast home.
