Overview
- Sienna Spiro announced Friday that she will not perform at the ARIA Awards on 18 November after saying the demands of her recent US tour have taken a toll on her voice.
- ARIA confirmed Spiro’s withdrawal and immediately added Melbourne pop trio Blusher to the performance lineup to fill her slot for the ceremony at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion.
- The 40th annual ARIA Awards will proceed as planned on 18 November with livestreaming on Paramount+ and sponsorship from Spotify, featuring major nominees such as Genesis Owusu, Tame Impala and Ecca Vandal.
- Spiro said she is resting her voice and plans to return to Australia for an eight‑date My House Tour in January, including a 16 January show at Fremantle Arts Centre in Perth.
- The late change highlights the strain of heavy international touring on fast‑rising artists and could prompt closer scheduling or vocal‑health precautions for breakout acts on tight global tours.
