2020 saw Australia continue into our second ever National Final. We saw household powerhouse names like Vanessa Amorosi and Casey Donovan, reality TV giants like Jack Vidgen, Diana Rouvas and Mitch Tambo and Triple J indie artists like Montaigne, Jaguar Jonze and Didirri.
Of course there could only be one winner, but with a chance to showcase their original work to new fans, there was no "failure" in not making it to Rotterdam.
After an incredibly successful Australia Decides 2020 we’ve had a look into how you can support the artists with details on their socials, and information on upcoming shows/gigs that the artists have planned over the next few months including links to some merch sites from the artists.
