Set to air live on Sunday, May 23, the annual awards show event will see the 28-year-old musician serve as host after Kelly Clarkson — his The Voice costar — served in the role over the past three years.

Jonas and Clarkson, 39, are two of five musicians who have taken on the role of hosting the BBMAs solo over the years, alongside Phil CollinsLL Cool J and Ludacris, according to Billboard. This is the first time that Jonas will host the famed awards show event.
