The National Live Music Awards of 2018 are the third National Live Music Awards in Australia. The event took place on 6 December 2018. The event moved its gala event to Brisbane â following events in Sydney and Melbourne in the last two years.
The 2018 event introduced a new award for Best Live Music Photographer in Australia and a Hall of Fame equivalent, titled the Live Legends. Live Country or Folk Act was renamed to Live Country Act.
