Posted September 2, 200816 yr Posted on August 30 2008 by the Music News Desk With 10 days to go before the Final Five nominees are announced along with this year’s exciting crop of Australian performers, and 7 weeks until the 2008 ARIA Awards, ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) is pleased to announce that P!nk is confirmed to perform her new single So What live on stage at the 2008 ARIA Awards, proudly presented by Motorola, on Sunday, 19 October, 2008 at Acer Arena, Sydney Olympic Park.
