The concert, first launched in 2004, featured music from Australian artists and musicians. Australia Day Live was preceded by the Australian of the Year Awards. The name of the concert was changed in 2012 to 'Australia Celebrates Live'.[1]

Australia Celebrates Live concert

Australia Celebrates Live was a free concert held on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra every Australia Day eve (25 January). It featured a line-up of Australian acts.

The concert included tributes to the outgoing Australians of the Year with songs chosen by the previous Australians of the Year. This was followed by the Australian of the Year Awards ceremony.

Once the Awards ceremony was complete, the concert continued with each artist performing a full set of music.[2]

Cancellation of the Australia Celebrates Live concert

In August 2016 the National Australia Day Council announced that the Australia Celebrates Live has been cancelled from 2017.[3]
