Keith Urban to host the Australian equivalent of the Grammys in November

ABC/Image Group LAKeith Urban is stepping up to the mic to host the ARIA Awards for the first time this fall in his native Australia.

Considered Australia’s equivalent of the Grammys, this year’s ceremony will be held Wednesday, November 28 in Sydney. Keith last appeared on the show in 2007.

Tuesday night, the “Never Comin Down” hitmaker wraps the Canadian leg of his Graffiti U World Tour in Vancouver before resuming his dates in the States Thursday in Eugene, Oregon. Next February, he’ll take the trek Down Under.
