Jet Will Be Inducted Into The ARIA Hall Of Fame

Jet will be inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame this November upon the 20th anniversary of the band’s seminal album, Get Born. You can watch their induction and many more moments of this year’s ARIA Awards on Wednesday, 15 November.

“Throughout their career, Jet has achieved numerous accolades and milestones, including seven ARIA Awards, chart-topping albums, and sold-out tours around the world,” ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd commented in a statement.

“They changed the face of Australian rock music with a culture-shifting album and have been a huge influence for other musicians over their career, and that truly deserves our highest honour. We couldn’t be happier to welcome them to the ARIA Hall of Fame as the first inductees since 2020.”

The last inductee into the ARIA Hall Of Fame was Archie Roach in 2020.

Vocalist Nic Cester said after hearing that Jet would be inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame, “We’re all quite chuffed and honoured to be in such esteemed company. We are humbled to receive this recognition.”

For the first time in ARIA history, the award ceremony will be streamed live on the streaming service Stan from 5 pm AEDT. From 7:30 pm, the 2023 ARIA Awards will air on Channel 9 and YouTube. Performances and other moments will be available on the ARIA YouTube channel.

Jet’s Get Born 20th-anniversary tour commences on Friday, 22 September, at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre, followed by Hindley Street Music Hall, Adelaide, on Saturday, 23 September, Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Friday, 29 September and finally, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Saturday, 30 September. Special guests Pacific Avenue will join them at all shows.

This Wednesday (20 September), Jet will perform a special warm-up show at The Night Cat in Fitzroy, Melbourne, with special guests Neon Goblin.

Jet’s debut album, Get Born, was absolutely massive in Australia and featured the hit singles, Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, Look What You’ve Done and more.

The album saw Jet score six ARIA Awards and was certified nine times platinum in Australia, making it one of the top five highest-selling Australian rock albums of all time.

After Get Born, Jet released Shine On in 2006 and their third album, Shaka Rock, in 2009. Jet disbanded in 2012 but reformed in 2017, accepting a mega opening slot for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band during their sold-out Australian tour. Since then, they’ve toured infrequently across Australia and internationally.
