Gold Coast golden girl Amy Shark will lead a killer line-up of local live acts at the Queensland Music Awards (QMA’s) at the Royal International Convention Centre (Royal ICC) tonight.
The chart-topping, platinum-selling and multiple ARIA Award-winning star is also one of the diverse group of finalists including Cub Sport, The Jungle Giants and San Mei who are nominated for awards at Queensland music’s night of nights.
One of the 23 awards up for grabs is the coveted QMA Song of the Year, which will see the winner’s name enshrined in a bronze plaque on the Fortitude Valley Walk of Fame alongside music legends The Bee Gees, Savage Garden and Powderfinger.
The awards have been running since 2006 and are expected to attract more than 600 music industry identities and fans tonight.
Brisbane Showgrounds General Manager of Venue Sales and Marketing Jago Coyle said they were excited to host the prestigious event for the second year in a row.
“We’re thrilled to host the QMA’s, as it celebrates Queensland talent and supports artists and music fans across the state,” he said.
“The Royal ICC is the perfect venue for these awards – we are Queensland’s home of summer music with many popular large festivals held here including RNB Fridays Live and Laneway and was home to the iconic Livid, Soundwave and Stereosonic festivals.”
The Queensland Music Awards get underway at 6:30pm.
The Brisbane Showgrounds precinct is located just 1.5km from Brisbane’s CBD and is Queensland’s largest indoor / outdoor events site. For more information about the Brisbane Showgrounds visitwww.brisbaneshowgrounds.com.au
