Crowded House and Angus & Julia Stone are set to perform at the 2024 Shure Rolling Stone Australia Awards, which return to Sydney on Tuesday, March 26.
Crowded House have been staples of the Australian and New Zealand music scene since forming in 1985, going on to become one of our most successful musical exports. The band have won 12 ARIA Awards and eight APRA Awards, achieving chart success in the US, UK, Europe and South Africa, and being inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 2016.
Angus & Julia Stone are set to release their sixth studio album Cape Forestier in May. In the awards, Angus is nominated in the Best Record category for his Dope Lemon project’s release Kimosabè.
The evening will again be hosted by former triple j breakfast presenter turned host of the daily Matt & Alex – All Day Breakfast podcast, Alex Dyson.
Speaking of his hosting role, Dyson said he was “extremely honoured to be invited back.”
“Sure, I wish it was because my experimental spoken word psy-jazz record was nominated for Best Album, but until that gets the traction it deserves I’m still thrilled to be involved in the capacity of host,” Dyson joked.
The annual awards will also welcome multiple new and returning sponsors in 2024, with headline partner Shure returning alongside American Apparel, JMC Academy, and Largo Brewing.
Poppy Reid, editor-in-chief at Rolling Stone Australia publisher The Brag Media, said:
“With this year’s awards taking place at our new home of Ivy in Sydney, we wanted to really step up our performer lineup in 2024. I’m looking forward to hearing Angus & Julia Stone’s incredible vocal harmonies ringing through the venue. Of course, it’s also an absolute privilege to reveal that Crowded House will also take the stage at the awards, and we all can’t wait to hear these genuine icons of our industry.”
