“The Australian music industry is so diverse, and I can’t wait to celebrate with you all as we unite to recognise and celebrate how much talent we have to offer the world.”
ARIA chief executive Dan Rosen congratulated the Aussie star in the news.
“ARIA is honoured and excited to have Guy Sebastian as our host for the 2019 ARIA Awards,” he said.
“He is one of Australia’s most talented artists and has had an incredible last 12 months.
“Guy will be an amazing host to lead the celebration of another great year of Australian music, and we cannot wait for music fans around the country to see what we have in store at this year’s ARIA Awards.”
Sebastian has kept a low profile the past couple of months following the online backlash he received for his somewhat divisive State of Origin performance.
