Sienna Spiro Cancels Appearance at 2026 ARIA Awards: ‘I Have to Listen to My Body’
Sienna Spiro has cancelled her planned performance at the 2026 ARIA Awards, saying the physical demands of her tour have taken a toll on her voice. The 21-year-old British singer said she needs to rest so she can give her best performances when she returns to Australia in January.
Spiro recently finished the North American leg of her My House World Tour, supporting her debut album, Visitor. Melbourne hyperpop trio Blusher will take her place at the ceremony on 18 November in Sydney; Tame Impala and Genesis Owusu lead the nominations with eight each. Spiro is due back for an eight-date Australia and New Zealand tour in January 2027, which sold out within hours.
In short
- Sienna Spiro withdrew from the ARIA Awards to rest her voice.
- Blusher will replace her at the Sydney ceremony.
- Spiro returns for a sold-out regional tour in January 2027.
