Six Australian music acts have been named as 2026 ARIA Hall of Fame inductees, with organizers announcing Gurrumul, Jenny Morris, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End, and Vika & Linda for this year’s class.
The induction will take place on June 11, 2026, at Carriageworks in Sydney. The event is part of the 40th anniversary year of the ARIA Awards and marks a return to a standalone Hall of Fame ceremony.
The group of inductees includes artists connected to rock, pop, soul, and Indigenous Australian music. Gurrumul, who died in 2017, will be honored posthumously. The other inductees remain recognized for long-running careers in Australian music.
The Hall of Fame recognizes artists whose work has had a lasting place in Australia’s recorded music history. Past inductees include AC/DC, Kylie Minogue, INXS, Yothu Yindi, Crowded House, Tina Arena, and Olivia Newton-John.
The 2026 ARIA Awards are scheduled for November 18 at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.
