The 2021 Music Victoria Awards winners are a testament to the strength and diversity of Victoria’s thriving music scene.
In another glorious evening of accolades and live music, the Music Victoria Awards honoured the state’s best acts, albums, songs and musicians of the year at its 17th annual event. The Melbourne Recital Centre came alive once again with music lovers, industry and artists gathering together during Melbourne Music Week to celebrate a joyous end to one of the hardest-hit years the sector has ever faced. The ceremony was live-streamed on Youtube and broadcast via Channel 31 to award the 16 industry-voted categories, seven public-voted categories as well as formally induct the 2021 Hall of Fame inductees.
