The Pacific Music Awards Trust has confirmed that the 2020 Pacific Music Awards ceremony planned for May 21, 2020, will not be staged.

The 2020 finalists will be announced by press release and online content in early/mid-April, with no finalist announcement event.

Encouraging everyone to follow all the directives and advice given so we can collectively respond to Covid-19, the PMA trust do want to ensure they can celebrate the music released by Pacific artists in 2019 and continue as many aspects of the awards ceremony as practical.

‘At this time, we are not able to confirm a new date for the 2020 Pacific Music Awards. However, we are fortunate that the nature of our event allows some flexibility in terms of timing and the format of the event. Our Trust can confirm our commitment to honouring and celebrating Pacific music, and affirm we are dedicated to delivering the Pacific Music Awards in some form or another.’
