2023 ACRAs: Tickets go on sale, performers unveiled

Tickets are now on sale for the 2023 Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs), boasting performaces from Ian Moss, Budjerah, Mia Ray and Mitch Tambo. 

The awards will celebrate a centenary of radio in Australia and honour the late Mushroom Records founder Michael Gudinski with the inaugral Gudinski Award – celebrating an Australian music champion. 

“From the 1970’s through to his passing in 2021, Michael Gudinski was at the forefront of discovering great musicians and promoting Australian talent,’ said CEO of CRA, Ford Ennals.

“Australian music is at the heart of commercial radio. The industry plays 2.7 million Australian songs a year, and APRA Chair Jenny Morris is presenting the 2023 Award for the most played new Australian song. 

“We wish to thank the Gudinski family for allowing us to honour the greatest Australian music champion by naming an award after him, acknowledging those that follow.”
