Here's the rundown of everything happening at Acer Arena on Sunday (a few general admission tickets are still available, if you're speedy). No ticket is needed to be part of the Red Carpet action - and there's plenty of it this year - so come and be part of the fun. For those watching at home, scroll down to see the Network Ten broadcast details.
Special note: We'll be updating this website direct from Acer Arena on Sunday night with photos and winner announcements. So if you're not at Acer and you're not watching Network Ten, then this very website is the place to be!
Red Carpet
The action starts at 3.15pm with a very special Red Carpet performance by RICKI-LEE COULTER. Your Red Carpet hosts, James Mathison and Hamish & Andy, will be interviewing artists and celebrities as they arrive. Of course there'll be the performers like Silverchair, Powderfinger, Sneaky Sound System, Gotye, Operator Please, Kate Miller-Heidke, John Butler Trio and Missy Higgins, but you can also expect to see the presenters who include Delta Goodrem, Megan Gale, Chrissy Amphlett and Mark McEntee of The Divinyls, Darren Hayes, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Ben Lee, James Mathison, Dave Hughes, The Chaser's Craig Reucassel and Chris Taylor, The Waifs' Donna Simpson and Vicki Thorn, and last but by no means least, Clare Bowditch... and of course all the nominees and other very special guests.
The second Red Carpet performance comes from THE VERONICA'S. Yep, The Veronica's,ON the Red Carpet! And in the midst of all this Red Carpet action comes the announcement of the winners in two very special categories: HIGHEST SELLING ALBUM and HIGHEST SELLING SINGLE. Clearly you can't not be there - and you don't even need a ticket!
