National Live Music Awards

The National Live Music Awards (often cited as the 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. It also awards the best venues for live acts, the best festivals or live music events and industry figures. Two awards are voted on by the public, while the rest are voted on by a national group of judges.[1]

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. [2] Ngaiire was the night's big winner, with three awards, including Live Voice of the Year.[3]

They are the successor of the AU Live Music Awards which were held in 2014 and 2015, run by music publication The AU Review. That website's founder, Larry Heath, serves as the Director of these awards.[4]

A second annual 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 awards has announced its third annual event will be 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.
