Kerrang! Magazine – the UK’s biggest selling music weekly – has today announced that this year’s Relentless Kerrang! Awards will be celebrating its 20th anniversary with a brand new venue and co-host. Renowned East London venue the Troxy will host this year’s Awards on Thursday 13 June.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary and to help christen the new venue, pop punk legend and Blink 182 member Mark Hoppus will debut his hosting skills at this year’s event. Mark will join Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian (who has co-hosted for the last five years) to hold court on the night and to ensure the Awards get off to a debaucherous and legendary initiation at The Troxy.
“I’m always excited about hosting the Relentless Kerrang! Awards but this year I am not only excited but also honoured to be hosting the 20th anniversary of this prestigious event” says Scott Ian. “And by prestigious event I mean an excessive over-the-top over-indulgent bacchanalian blowout of epic proportions. And I have a new co-host this year, my pal Mark Hoppus. Let’s party!”
Open voting for the Relentless Kerrang! Awards starts TODAY – Wednesday 10th April – via link and Kerrang! Magazine and will close on 3rd May.
