It’s ARIA Week, which means a bunch of exciting shows and events are taking place around Sydney from now until the awards themselves take place.

On top of the four sold-out Crowded House shows, ARIA Week 2016 is also supporting shows like the MTV Beats & Eats festival, the Rare Finds showcase and the 5 Seeds Fight For Your Right party as well as shows from Peking Duk and Holy Holy.

It is also hosting a bunch of exhibitions and conferences about the music industry in Australia, and the legendary music exec Barry Weiss is set to be a keynote speaker at the ARIA Week Masterclass.

On Wednesday November 23, the winners for the ARIA Awards 2016 will be announced. Check out the full program for the week below:
