MTV EMA 2024: Everything you need to know including, who is hosting, performing and set to attend

The MTV European Music Awards are set to take place in the UK for the first time since 2027.

The biggest global celebration of music is set to take place in Manchester on Sunday (November 10). The star studded event will be at the new Co-op Live with Rita Ora returning to host the awards for the third time. 

The MTV European Music Awards are an annual awards ceremony that recognises and celebrates music and pop culture. The show features performances from top artists, and an award for best song. Stars including Shawn Mendes, Pet Shop Boys, Benson Boone, RAYE, Teddy Swims, and The Warning are set to perform this year. 

Busta Rhymes is set to receive the 2024 EMA Global Icon Award. Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Raye and Sabrina Carpenter will fight it out for the Best Artist Award. Fans can vote via the MTV EMA Instagram stories. 

The 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) were cancelled due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and other world event such as France's terrorism high alert, and airport security threats. The award ceremony was last held in the UK in 2017 in London at the SSE Arena, Wembley.

Tickets for the event are still available to buy from the Co-op live website. The MTV EMA 2024 will be available to watch on MTV on Sunday (November 10) from 8pm to 11pm.
