Following a hugely successful inaugural year in 2018, we are proud to announce the return of The Global Awards with Very.co.uk.

The awards will be hosted once again by Classic FM's Myleene Klass, alongside Capital's Roman Kemp and Heart's Rochelle Humes.

Tickets are no longer on sale. So the only way to be there is by winning tickets… Keep listening to Classic FM for your chance to win!

Myleene Klass said: “I am thrilled to be back hosting The Global Awards again on behalf of Classic FM and Smooth. I don’t know any other awards show where you’d get the chance to see the world’s greatest pianist Lang Lang and our very own Little Mix perform on the same stage. I genuinely cannot wait.”

All Global’s radio stations including Capital, Heart, Classic FM, Smooth, Radio X, Capital XTRA, Gold and LBC will come together to celebrate the biggest stars of music, news and entertainment at The Global Awards 2019 with Very.co.uk. The prestigious ceremony takes place on one huge night in London on 7 March at Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo.

Stars nominated in the longlists include Yo-Yo Ma, Lady Gaga, Jess Glynne, Cheryl, Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris, Ariana Grande, Florence + the Machine, Simon Rattle and John Williams. 

Some of the world’s greatest artists will take to the stage to perform for fans and stars alike at the ceremony including the inimitable superstar pianist Lang Lang, the world’s biggest girl band (and triple winners at the inaugural Global Awards) Little Mix and Mark Ronson.
