The event will be co-presented by Chris Gill (Triple R) and Lyndelle Wilkinson (PBS), with Fee B-Squared DJing between sets. The night will peak when special guests Ajak Kwai, Ben Salter, Blake Scott, Briggs, Ecca Vandal, Emma Donovan, Iseula Hingano and Olympia join forces to perform a song with The EG Allstars. To cap it off, The Public Awards and The Genre Awards will be merged into one huge show for the first time in the awards’ history.
