The singer/song-writer headlines Australia’s greatest night of TV celebration.
Singing superstar Calum Scott was today confirmed to perform at the 62nd TV WEEK Logie Awards on Sunday, June 19, within The Star Gold Coast Entertainment Precinct at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
To celebrate Pride Month across the globe kicking off, today Calum has released new single Boys In The Street. Calum’s addition to the show firms up what will be the party of the year when the nation’s TV industry come together to celebrate the most popular and outstanding shows and personalities on Australian TV.
The new track is featured on Calum’s upcoming sophomore album Bridges set for release on June 17. The album features the previously released singles If You Ever Change Your Mind (a bittersweet but empowered piece produced by Greg Kurstin, an eight-time GRAMMY Award winner known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Adele), Rise (a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst), and Biblical (a heart-on-sleeve ballad Calum later followed with an American Sign Language version made in collaboration with the Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre).
His track with Lost Frequencies Where Are You Now, peaked at #5 on the ARIA Singles Chart and had multiple weeks as #1 Most Played on Australian radio. Fresh off his recent run as support for Irish rock band The Script, the album will bring Scott back to Australia this November for his own headline tour.
Calum’s 2018 full-length debut Only Human hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe and sold more than 4.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnered over 10 billion combined streams.
Ahead of his trip to Australia Calum said:
“I am so excited to be coming back to Australia for the first time in nearly four years and perform at the TV WEEK Logie Awards! Australia has always had such a special place in my heart so I feel incredibly lucky to be coming back to do more in such an amazing country.
“Can’t wait to be a part of a special night celebrating the best of Australian TV!”
Executive Producer of the TV WEEK Logies, Melinda Zahra, said:
“I’m so excited to finally share in this announcement. We’re thrilled to have Calum Scott join us to perform at the Logies this year – he’s an absolute superstar.”
TV WEEK Editor Stephen Downie said:
“We’re thrilled to have the enormously talented Calum at this year’s Logies. His sublime vocal skill will undoubtedly have the crowd on their feet.”
