Normally ARIA Week means red carpets, fancy dresses and a fully-packed award ceremony. But, thanks to a little thing called COVID-19, the Aussie music industry had to pivot a little bit.
But as they say, the show must go on. And go on it did thanks to Nova’s Red Room ARIA edition presented by Mitsubishi Motors Australia.
In celebration of the ARIAs 2020, Nova and Mitsubishi Motors paired up to bring us four of the country’s most beloved acts across two killer nights of entertainment at Hordern Pavilion: Ruel, Amy Shark, Jessica Mauboy and Guy Sebastian.
Night one kicked off strong with both Ruel and Amy Shark hitting the stage. But night two of Nova’s Red Room ARIA edition hosted by Mitsubishi Motors was even more of a treat.
Guy Sebastian hit the mic first bringing amazing vocals and a killer vibe. Homegrown talent, there’s nothing like it.
Speaking of homegrown talent, Jess Mauboy entered after Guy Sebastian with a bang, looking fierce, of course, and sounding even better.
Talking to the crowd, Jess intimate details about her personal life, including the bond between her parents and how she met her partner of 13 years (spoiler: it was in a Darwin club with a fake ID – cheeky).
Miss Mauboy went on to powerhouse through some of her biggest hits, including Butterfly and Sunday – the perfect cry song (yes, we may have shed a tear).
She’s a lady of talent that Jess Mauboy, she is. Check it our for yourselves:
All in all, Nova’s Red Room ARIA Edition presented by Mitsubishi Motors Australia was a smash hit full of some smash hits. There was some singing, some in-seat dancing (the best kind) and some very special moments.
A night to remember. We’re already counting down to the next one – how good is live music!
