International country music sensation Keith Urban will perform at this year’s Australian Commercial Radio Awards, being held in Sydney on 18 October.
The awards will also feature singer-songwriter Alex Lloyd, rising star Amiel and well-known entertainer and pop star David Campbell.
Commercial Radio Australia CEO Joan Warner says: “We wanted to put on something special to celebrate the 15th year of the radio awards and we’re delighted that we were able to secure such an impressive entertainment line-up.
We gave the awards a major revamp last year to better showcase the energy and dynamism in the industry – and this year we are hoping it will be even bigger and better, with the artists performing live and the production featuring a panoramic screen with state-of-the-art graphics and technology.”
Keith Urban’s second solo album Golden Road recently went platinum in the US and he will be touring around Australia in the second half of October with LeeAnn Rimes. Alex Lloyd, who releases his new album Distant Light next week, will embark on his Australian tour after the awards performance.
The Australian Commercial Radio Awards is the industry’s ‘night of nights’ and will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday, October 18 and webcast on the commercial radio site.
