Celebrating the state’s vibrant music scene next March, Queensland Music Awards will relocate to new venue The Fortitude Music Hall.
The announcement was made earlier today during a special launch event at BIGSOUND with performances from 2019 award winners Clea and Tia Gostelow and will see the QMAs shift from Royal International Convention Centre at Brisbane Showgrounds.
"The Queensland Music Awards celebrate and showcase the best of Queensland’s music industry and we are excited to be hosting the 2020 QMAs at the new Fortitude Music Hall,” QMusic CEO Angela Samut said.
“We recently unveiled this year’s QMA Song of the Year plaque for Clea on the Valley Walk of Fame which is directly at the entrance to The Fortitude Music Hall.
“We are proud to be behind this event which is an important part of Australia’s music landscape and one which has catapulted local talent to a global audience including Amy Shark, Violent Soho, Ball Park Music and Cub Sport.
“The QMAs not only provide a platform for our local artists to be recognised nationally and abroad but also our industry leaders, festivals and live music venues too, that keep the joy of music alive in our communities.”
Fortitude Music Hall venue director John Collins added: “QMusic have done a fantastic job with the awards, growing it each year. We feel that the QMAs have found their natural home at the Fortitude Music Hall and together we will continue to deliver a world-class event celebrating Queensland’s rich music scene, the envy of our southern counterparts.”
Entries for the 2020 QMAs self-nominating categories are open until October 24.
