The ARIA Awards 2018 kicked off in a very wet Sydney on Nov. 28, and in spite of the inclement weather the stars made sure they were dressed to make a splash.
Australia’s very own Keith Urban returned as host for the 32nd annual awards – more than a decade after he last graced the ARIAs stage.
“I’m really looking forward to coming home and celebrating an incredible year of Australian music,” Keith said ahead of the iconic event.
“There’s been so many impressive releases this year, it’s gonna be a tough competition but we get to recognise and honour the best of the best at Aussie music’s night of nights.”
