Country music hit-maker Keith Urban has been selected to host the ARIA Awards on November 28th in Sydney, Australia!
“I’m really looking forward to coming home and celebrating an incredible year of Australian music. There’s been so many impressive releases this year, it’s gonna be a tough competition but we get to recognize and honor the best of the best at Aussie music’s night of nights,” the star shared in a statement.
Watch Urban work hard to convince Australian TV and radio presenter Richard Wilkins that he has what it takes to host the ceremony!
We certainly hope he does a guitar solo and also brings his wife, actress Nicole Kidman, to the event!
“ARIA is honored and excited to welcome back superstar Keith Urban to join us in Sydney to celebrate the 2018 ARIAs,” Dan Rosen, CEO for ARIA, added. “To have one of Australia’s biggest stars host this year’s ceremony is just phenomenal. Australian music fans are in for a real treat.”
Besides returning to Australia for the ARIA Awards, the star will also be going back to his old stomping grounds early next year!
