Sienna Spiro joins 2026 ARIA Awards line-up on Channel 10 and Paramount+ – Rising pop star Sienna Spiro will make her ARIA Awards debut at the ceremony’s 40th anniversary event in Sydney on Wednesday, 18 November 2026.
The performance is a substantial addition for Australian viewers. Spiro’s debut album Visitor has spent 14 consecutive weeks in the ARIA Albums Chart top ten. Her January 2027 tour of Australia and New Zealand has already sold out. Her appearance connects an international breakout act with a ceremony focused on the local music industry.
She will perform at the Hordern Pavilion as the awards recognise artists across 29 categories. ARIA has not announced her song choice. More performers and presenters are still to be named.
How to watch the ARIA Awards in Australia
The 40th Annual ARIA Awards will stream live on Paramount+ from 5pm AEDT on Wednesday, 18 November. Spotify is the event’s presenting partner. Channel 10 will broadcast the ceremony and red carpet after Big Brother. A precise Channel 10 start time has not yet been supplied. ARIA says red-carpet moments and performances will appear on its social channels from 1pm.
The distinction between the two services is worth noting. Paramount+ carries the live awards presentation from 5pm Sydney time, while the Channel 10 broadcast is positioned later in the evening. Viewers wanting the ceremony as it happens will need the live stream.
Sienna Spiro’s Australian chart run
At 21, Spiro has more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify and two billion streams overall, according to ARIA. She placed three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. She also recorded six entries on the ARIA Singles Chart. Visitor reached number three on the ARIA Albums Chart in July.
In Australia, Die On This Hill has earned platinum certification. You Stole The Show, MAYBE, Material Lover and The Visitor are certified gold. Spiro’s sold-out Visitor tour in January 2027 moved more than 30,000 tickets across Australia and New Zealand. She previously held a smaller fan event in Newtown in 2025.
Spiro welcomed the invitation to appear at the Australian ceremony.
So excited and honoured to be performing at the 2026 ARIA Awards. I love Australia and can’t wait to be back!
