Justin Hawkins To Co-Present The Kerrang! Awards 2016

Just when you thought the Kerrang! Awards 2016 couldn’t get any better, we’ve only gone and got Justin Hawkins to help present it!

The Darkness frontman will be teaming up with the already confirmed Benji Webbe to present what will be the biggest and best Kerrang! Awards in the history of the prestigious event. On top of that, for the first time ever, we’ve teamed with Help Musicians UK (HMUK), the country’s leading music charity, for a ground-breaking partnership.

Talking about hosting the event, Justin said: “The Darkness have been the proud recipients of numerous K! Awards over the years. These magnificent plexiglass monuments stand proud in my trophy cabinet alongside my many sporting achievements.In recent times, however,  we have been forced to witness the social event of the year as outsiders, like Dickensian urchins with our faces pressed up to the window. It will be nice to watch the evening unfold from the warmth of the podium for a change.”

“I have many treasured memories from previous ceremonies; as an award recipient, a performer and just a bloke getting as hammered as can be. I hope I don’t do a shitty job,  and this year’s nominees and attendees manage to glean as much enjoyment from the occasion as I will.I shall be fabulously attired, as one would expect. It’s not about me, though.  It’s about the music that Kerrang! continues to support. Hurrah!”

Not only can you be there, but you can also watch Asking Alexandria and more perform once all the partying is done! Head to the Kerrang! Ticket Store now to get your tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime event.
