National Live Music Awards of 2017
The National Live Music Awards of 2017 were the second National Live Music Awards in Australia. The event took place on 7 December 2017, and the gala event moved from Sydney to Melbourne.
All categories, bar the two People's Choice Awards, are voted on by a panel of judges around the country, representing every State and Territory in Australia. The nominees of the two People's Choice Awards were chosen by the judges, however the public vote for the winner.
There are two new awards this year: Best Pop Act and Best Country or Folk Act. The All Ages Achievement Award, which recognises an individual or organisation who supports and fosters all ages events, has expanded from NSW to Victoria.
The Heatseeker Award is now The Best New Act. The Hard Rock or Metal genre category has been shortened to just Hard Rock, the previous Roots award is now the Blues & Roots award, with Country and Folk nominees given their own category for the first time.
