UPDATE 04/11/16: The winners of the 2016 WA Music Awards have been revealed.

This year’s nominations are lead by 2015 triple j Unearthed winners Tired Lion, who have nabbed six nominations. Other multiple nominees include Koi Child, Hideous Sun Demon, Verge Collection, Rag n’ Bone, Methyl Ethel and Lucy Peach.
