It's that time of year again, when the v. best of Australian music is celebrated in ~style~ at the ARIA Awards.

This year, the ARIA Awards is celebrating QUITE the milestone in turning 30 years old. We can only assume that means this year will be bigger, bolder and more Instagram worthy than ever before.

So...the awards aren't technically until November, but we can at least start placing bets and picking our faves early with the first batch of nominations JUST released.

The Artisan Awards and Fine Arts Awards are for the BTS heroes of Aussie music and there are already plenty of corkers. 

Our boy Flume leads the pack for Producer of the Year, while the album artist for RÜFÜs and Flight Facilities classical collab with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are also highlights.

Check out the full list below and start getting pumped!
