National Indigenous Music Awards 2025

The National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) are recognised as one of Australia’s most prominent music awards and have been celebrating Indigenous Australian music for 20 years.

The NIMAs showcase the rich musical landscape of 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, such as Jessica Mauboy & Barkaa.

Held annually under the stars at Darwin’s historic Amphitheatre, The NIMAs bring audiences from all over Australia together to applaud the winners, enjoy the performances and soak up the ambiance of a night for music lovers of all ages and all cultures. Musicians such as Yothu Yindi, Dr G. Yunupingu (Gurrumul), Arrkula Yinbayarra (ft Dr Shellie Morris AO), The Tableland Drifters, Electric Fields, Troy Cassar-Daley, Baker Boy, Warren H. Williams, and Saltwater Band have performed and won awards as well.
