Sunshine Coasters nominated for this year's National Live Music Awards

Another year is coming to an end, which means we edge closer to giving accolades within the industry. The National Live Music Awards (NLMAs) recognises Australia’s diverse and successful live industry, celebrating the diversity and success of the Australian live scene – recognising the best vocal talents and musicians alongside the best venues, events and festivals.

In other words, it’s a chance for the industry to say out loud to the rest of Australia, ‘Hey, we’re kicking arse in what we produce in this country, look!’

There’s a stack load of talent, both with artists, creatives, venues and festivals, so competition is thick, but us Sunny Coasters should be proud of some of our own nominated for this year’s NLMAs.
