One of the most treasured moments on the Australian music calendar, the presentation of the ARIA Hall of Fame, became an embarrassment of riches on Thursday night, June 11, as six legendary acts were inducted in a special ceremony.
The Australian Recording Industry Association went large for the 40th anniversary of the flagship ARIA Awards by breaking from tradition. Instead of the usual class of one or two, ARIA elevated a half-dozen beloved acts on the night: Gurrumul, Jenny Morris, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End and Vika & Linda.
