Tones And I, Crowded House among the winners at the 2024 Rolling Stone Australia Awards

Tones And I, Dom Dolla, Peach PRC and the Teskey Brothers were among the winners on Tuesday night (March 26) at the Shure Rolling Stone Australia 2024 Awards, while Crowded House took the runner-up 'icon' award.

Formed by New Zealand alternative rock favorites Split Enz, Crowded House are members of the ARIA Hall of Fame, inducted in 2016 in recognition of a career that has seen over 15 million album sales, 13 ARIA Awards, a BRIT Award and MTV VMAs.

Frontman Neil Finn was on hand to accept the RS award and perform an acoustic mini-set. “Thank you Rolling Stone for making us an icon,” he told the 800 guests gathered at The Ivy in central Sydney. “I'm not sure what that really means, but I think it means you should go to Mecca and buy some makeup, so I did. I'd like to thank all the Crowded House band members, so I'm representing for them, they send their love. To everyone, thank you so much for honoring us in this way.”

The Kiwi bandleader gave industry audiences a taste of things to come when he strapped on his guitar for a preview Gravity StairsCrowded House's eighth and final album, out May 31 via BMG.

Tones And I can't stop winning. The one-time busker recently hit three billion streams on Spotify for 'Dance Monkey', becoming the first solo female artist to achieve the milestone, and opened for Pink on a record 20 stages Summer Carnival tour in Australia, a jaunt that shifted more than 900,000 tickets, according to Live Nation.

On Tuesday, the Tones beat Tame Impala, Kylie Minogue and Troye Sivan to win the global award, a category voted for by The Rolling Stones international editorial teams.

“Wow,” enthused Tones (real name Toni Watson), “this is an incredible award to win, up against such an icon in Kylie Minogue who helped pave the way for women in pop music on a global scale.”

Adelaide singer-songwriter Peach PRC won best single with 'Perfect For You'. Rolling Stone Australia cover stars The Teskey Brothers took the best record with ARIA Chart No. 1 The Winding Wayand EDM star Dom Dolla won best new artist.
