Join us at the Grace Emily on 7 December as Radio Adelaide again proudly presents the SA chapter of the National Live Music Awards.

National and state winners of the 2017 NLMAs will be announced in live music venues in eight cities around Australia, and streamed live on Facebook, on Thursday 7 December.

National winners will be announced at a Melbourne gala hosted by Dom Alessio and featuring performances by Mojo Juju and a very special tribute to The Peep Tempel by Girls Rock! Melbourne featuring Swim Team, Moody Beaches and Bitch Diesel.

In Adelaide, at the Grace Emily Hotel (winner last year of Best Live Venue in SA and a nominee again this year), nominee Häna Brenecki will open the night, ahead of performances from MANE and Donnarumma, and announcement of the SA winners. Tickets are free and available now at www.nlmas.com.au/tickets.
