This year’s SA Music Awards was nothing short of spectacular! From show-stopping performances to heartfelt acceptance speeches, we celebrated the very best in South Australian music.

Catch the highlights in this exclusive recap video by Vipop Productions (https://vipopproductions.com/) and relive the unforgettable moments that lit up the stage.

Throughout the night, local artists West Thebarton,My Chérie and Sons of Zoku performed unforgettable sets, displaying some of the unique and cutting-edge talent South Australia has to offer.

The 2024 SA Music Awards were hosted by Triple J’s Home and Hosed’s Ash McGregor and Adelaide local man-about-town Henry Doyle. Ash, known for championing up-and-coming Aussie talent on a national stage, brought her infectious passion for local music to the night. Henry Doyle, with his wit and charm, brought an entertaining and memorable experience for all in attendance.

Of course, though the live performances of the evening were a highlight, the awards presented are a testament to the vast, diverse, skilled and undeniable talent South Australia holds in its music industry, and this was clear to all present as each award finalist and winner was announced. A key highlight was aleksiah’s huge four awards win! A special thank you also to The Note for capturing interviews and special moments with the winners and sponsors behind the scenes during the ceremony.
