Cave beat Missy Higgins from Frontier Touring, Flume by Chugg Entertainment and Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier via StudioVictor, QPAC, NFSA, Arts Centre Melbourne, Theatre Royale and Margaret River Cultural Centre.

The gobsmackingly good Patti Smith live show won against Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Adele and P.J. Harvey.
