The National Live Music Awards of 2023 were the 6th annual National Live Music Awards.[1]

In December 2022, the National Live Music Awards (NLMAs) confirmed they will be back to celebrate the live sector in October 2023, after a two-year hiatus, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2023 awards will reflect a lengthier eligibility period (1 September 2020 – 30 June 2023).[2]

The events were held simultaneously across eight cities on 11 October 2023.[1] All venues and nominees were announced on Brisbane on 5 September 2023.[3]
