Held annually under the stars at Darwin’s historic Amphitheatre, The NIMAs showcase the rich musical landscape of Indigenous Australia and highlight the music coming from all corners of the country. The Awards bring together acts who are yet to make their mark on the world alongside those who have achieved international acclaim.

Included in this year's line-up are Gurrumul, The Genesis Project by Arnhem Land band East Journey featuring members of Yothu Yindi (pictured), the inimitable Frank Yamma, NT local favorites Blekbala Mujik, The Painted Ladies with Vic Simms and members of The Medics, and Tiwi Island band B2M.
