Tame Impala, Spacey Jane, Stella Donnelly and more have been announced as some of the many nominees at the 2020 West Australian Music Awards (WAMAwards).
The ceremony, which has been pushed back slightly further than usual due to coronavirus, celebrates achievement by musicians in WA throughout the past year.
Other artists nominated throughout the extensive list of categories include Troye Sivan, Carla Geneve, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Sly Withers, San Cisco and more.
In addition, there are five awards whose winner will be decided by the public: ‘Most Popular Act’, ‘Most Popular New Act’, ‘Most Popular Live Act’, ‘Most Popular Venue’ and ‘Most Popular Live or Streaming Music Event’. Voting is open for these categories now, and will remain open until 5pm on Wednesday, March 3.
The ceremony will be hosted at Perth’s His Majesty’s Theatre on Tuesday, March 23, with a string of performers yet to be announced. Tickets are on sale now.
