The Logies are back on Channel Nine and 9Now on Sunday, June 19, after a two-year hiatus.
Broadcast live from 7.00pm on Queensland’s Gold Coast, the 62nd TV Week Logie Awards will once again bring Australia’s biggest TV stars together for a night of celebration, glitz, and glamour.
Leila McKinnon, David Campbell, and Renee Bargh will get things started on the red carpet, giving viewers front-row access as the stars arrive at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre within The Star Gold Coast Entertainment Precinct – a brand new location.
From 7.30pm, the official TV Week Logie Awards begin, with 25 Logies to be awarded, including the new Silver Logie for Most Popular Australian Actor or Actress in an International Program. From this year, the Most Popular Presenter Logie will be known as the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, recognising the late Bert Newton.
Tony Martin also returns as the voice of the Logies, and TV personalities across all networks will form a lineup of presenters, including:
Mel B, Hamish & Andy, Melissa Leong, Karl Stefanovic, Julia Morris, Tom Gleeson, Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown, Dave Hughes, Osher Gunsberg, Leigh Sales, Ada Nicodemou, Waleed Aly, Tony Armstrong, Jeremy Fernandez, Emma Watkins, Tim Minchin, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Dylan Alcott, Claudia Karvan, Leah Purcell, Chrissie Swan, Lincoln Younes, Allison Langdon, Christie Whelan-Browne, Sophie Monk, Rodger Corser, Kumi Taguchi, Sarah Abo, Patti Newton, Rove McManus, David Speers, Eddie Perfect, Richard Wilkins, Daniel MacPherson, and Larry Emdur.
International and Australian artists will join forces for live performances. Multi-platinum-award singer Calum Scott will perform new songs from his upcoming album, Bridges.
Jimmy Barnes will be joined by his 12-piece band and a special guest to mark 30 years since the release of his 10-times platinum album, Soul Deep.
Jimmy Barnes said: “We’re really looking forward to staging these Soul Deep Anniversary gigs – I love playing all those classic songs. Unfortunately, it’s such a big show that we can’t take it right around the country so the Logies will be a great way to let everyone across Australia get a small taste of these special shows.”
One of Australia’s most successful artists, Jess Mauboy, will hit the high notes with her classics and the first TV performance of her new single, Automatic.
On her return to the Logies stage, Jess said: “I couldn’t be more excited that Logies are back, and I’m thrilled to announce I will be performing my newest single Automatic on the Logies stage.”
Guests in the room and those at home will also be treated to a performance by Tim Minchin, the star of the Foxtel Original, Upright. The second series of Upright recently wrapped production and will be seen on Foxtel later this year.
The party extends outside of the ballroom at the new TV Week Logies Live Site, where fans can mingle with the stars of Married at First Sight, Travel Guides, and The Block, and enjoy live performances from Rogue Traders, Lachie Gill, Gaudion and Sofia Isella, and Lionette.
