Sienna Spiro will perform at this year’s ARIA Awards.
The 21-year-old UK singer-songwriter’s debut album, Visitor, is in its 14th consecutive week in the top 10 of the ARIA Albums Chart, after peaking at No. 3 in July.
She joins a list of international acts who have performed at the awards show, including Olivia Dean, Alicia Keys, Ava Max, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Kane Brown, Khalid, Lorde, One Direction, Robbie Williams, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift and Pixies.
Spiro has more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 2 billion total streams. She has had three singles on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously and six entries on the ARIA Singles Chart.
It will be her second visit to Australia, following a fan event at Newtown’s Pleasure Club in 2025. Her Visitor tour of Australia and New Zealand in January 2027 sold out within hours, with more than 30,000 tickets sold.
Ahead of her return, Spiro said: “So excited and honoured to be performing at the 2026 ARIA Awards. I love Australia and can’t wait to be back!”
This year Spiro won Best New Artist at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards and was shortlisted for the BRIT Awards Critics’ Choice. She was also named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and received two American Music Award nominations for Best Vocal Performance and Breakthrough Pop Artist.
