This year’s Logie awards will feature an all-star line-up of Australian music greats – Jimmy Barnes, Jessica Mauboy and Tim Minchin – to perform at this year’s event next Sunday.
Australian icon Jimmy Barnes is currently celebrating 30 years of Soul Deep, the classic album that also marked his foray into the soul genre putting his unique spin on timeless classics.
The trailblazing collection is certified 10 times platinum in Australia, won the 1992 ARIA Awards for Best Male Artist and Highest Selling Album, and remains the highest-selling album ever for both Jimmy Barnes and Mushroom Records.
Jimmy 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.”
Fresh off the back of her sold-out national Boss Lady Tour, one of the country’s most celebrated and loved R&B-pop entertainers, Jessica Mauboy is back in the driver’s seat with new single ‘Automatic’. Jess has also been channelling her wealth of experience as a performer into her role as a coach on Seven’s The Voice this year.
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 very special 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 2022 Logie Awards red carpet show kicks off at 7pm Sunday 19 June and this year being hosted by Leila McKinnon, David Campbell and Renee Bargh.
Leila, David and Renee will have the best seat in the house to show viewers at home all the razzle, dazzle and glamour of TV’s night of nights.
Live voting for all the Most Popular awards, including the Gold Logie, is open right through until the end of the red carpet telecast on June 19.
