Global Awards hosts return for second year

Heart’s Rochelle Humes, Capital Breakfast’s Roman Kemp and Classic FM and Smooth presenter Myleene Klass will host The Global Awards once again this year.

The ceremony takes place at London’s Eventim Apollo Hammersmith on Thursday March 7th featuring performances from Mark Ronson, Little Mix, Lang Lang, Blossoms, Mabel, Anne-Marie and more.

The Global Awards 2019 with Very.co.uk will recognise the best in music, news and entertainment and the award categories reflect the music, programmes and news aired on Global’s radio stations; Capital, Heart, Classic FM, Smooth, Radio X, Capital XTRA, Gold and LBC.

Shortlisted artists include Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Arctic Monkeys, Little Mix, Post Malone, Anne-Marie, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Jess Glynne, Nicola Benedetti, Rudimental, Drake, Florence + the Machine, Ava Max, Liam Payne, Olly Murs and Take That. The public and a panel of industry experts will vote for their winners in a host of popular categories.

Roman Kemp said: “It’s an honour to return to host such an incredible event. The calibre of talent that Global brings together under one roof is phenomenal, with performances from some of the world’s biggest artists. It promises to be an amazing night and I can’t wait.”

Rochelle Humes said: “After the huge success of last year’s Global Awards, I’m flattered to be asked back to co-present alongside the wonderful Myleene and Roman. It’s going to be a very special evening, celebrating the stars of music, news and entertainment. Last year we saw Little Mix score the hat-trick at our first ever ceremony and I can’t wait to see who’ll take the charge this year.”

Myleene Klass adds: “I am thrilled to be back hosting The Global Awards again on behalf of Classic FM and Smooth. I don’t know any other awards show where you’d get the chance to see the world’s greatest pianist Lang Lang and our very own Little Mix perform on the same stage. I genuinely cannot wait.”
