ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) is
thrilled to announce the final Australian performer at the 23rd annual ARIA Awards,
with the inclusion of The Temper Trap into the line-up of live music performances.
This finalises what is set to be an extraordinary night of entertainment when
the Australian music industry's favourite event rolls around on Thursday 26 November
at Acer Arena.
In a massive coup for organisers THE TEMPER TRAP, who relocated
to the UK in April this year, have confirmed that they'll take a break from their
UK and European tour to return home for their first performance on Australian
soil since the release of their debut album 'Conditions'. The Melbourne indie
four-piece have taken the world by storm since the release of 'Conditions' with
the album to date reaching #9 in Australia and #26 in the UK. Their single "Sweet
Disposition" has had a massive impact in the UK, shooting up the Radio 1
playlist to become their #2 most played song, ensuring Sweet Disposition a #6
spot on the singles chart and sales in excess of 160,000 units. THE TEMPER TRAP
step up to the plate at their first ARIA Awards with an impressive four nominations
in the categories of BEST ROCK ALBUM, BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST - ALBUM, SINGLE OF THE
YEAR (Sweet Disposition) and the coveted ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
The Temper Trap
will share the stage with a stellar lineup of homegrown artists including Keith
Urban, Jessica Mauboy, Hilltop Hoods, Empire Of The Sun, Sarah Blasko, Lisa Mitchell,
Kate Miller-Heidke, Ladyhawke and international pop icon Robbie Williams, who
will perform his new single 'Bodies'.
The 2009 ARIA Awards will be the
telecast on the Nine Network from 8.30 on the evening of Thursday, 26 November,
followed by an encore screening on MTV on Friday, 27 November at 5.30pm. This
year's Awards ceremony will be staged 'In the Round' for the first time, promising
some very unique musical performances.
