National Live Music Awards of 2018

The National Live Music Awards of 2018 are the third National Live Music Awards in Australia. The event took place on 6 December 2018. The event moved its gala event to Brisbane – following events in Sydney and Melbourne in the last two years.

The 2018 event introduced a new award for Best Live Music Photographer in Australia and a Hall of Fame equivalent, titled the Live Legends. Live Country or Folk Act was renamed to Live Country Act. The state based All Ages Achievement expanded to all states and territories, from only NSW and Victoria in 2017. The event was streamed live and for free via Netgigs.
