ARIA Hall of Fame

Since 1988 the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has inducted artists into its ARIA Hall of Fame. While most have been recognised at the annual ARIA Music Awards, in 2005 ARIA sought to create a separate standalone "ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame" event as only one or two acts could be inducted under the old format due to time restrictions.cite web |url=http://www.aria.com.au/pages/hall-of-fame.htm |title=ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame |publisher=Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) |accessdate=2008-07-06 ] Since 2005 VH1 obtained the righs to broadcast the show live on Foxtel, Austar and Optus networks; [cite news | title=ARIAs Hall of Fame

At the 1 July 2008 Hall of Fame ceremony, held at the Melbourne Town Hall, ARIA stated that the Hall of Fame ceremony would be completely separate from the ARIA Music Awards - there would be no additional inductees at the latter ceremony.cite web |url=http://www.ariahalloffame.com.au/document/No1_ARIA_announces_details_of_the_2008_ARIA_Hall_of_Fame.pdf |title=ARIA Presents the 2008 ARIA Hall of Fame |last=Pope |first=Mark |publisher=Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) |format=PDF |date=2008-05-01 |accessdate=2008-06-01 ] ARIA had opened the Hall of Fame ceremony to the general public for the first time, and ARIA president Ed St John announced that a new annual exhibition, at the Melbourne Arts Centre from November, would showcase memorabilia honouring the Hall of Fame inductees.cite web |url=http://www.ariahalloffame.com.au/document/No6_The_Arts_Centre_and_ARIA_HOF_launch_an_exhibition_partnership.pdf |title=Aussie Music Legends’ Gear to Go on Show |publisher=Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Arts Centre |format=PDF |date=2008-07-02 |accessdate=2008-07-06 ]
