MTV Europe 2010 Music Awards will be broadcast live from Madrid, on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010 at 9 p.m. ET on MTV, as well as online. The Red Carpet show begins at 8 p.m. so fans can tune in early.
Tens of thousands are expected to attend the event in Madrid, where Katy Perry and Linkin Park are both giving free concerts in Madrid’s historic Peurta de Alcala.
Billed as the biggest live event on the European music calendar, the awards show is being presented by global style icon and Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria. Justin Bieber will be the digital host, posting live, constant commentary during the show.
Longoria, who said she was excited about her host role, told Reuters in a recent interview: “I have an intense love of music and have been a host before and my family is from Spain, so it’s a perfect fit in Madrid.”
Acts include Perry, Bon Jovi, Ke$ha, Kid Rock, Kings of Leon, Linkin Park, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Shakira. Longoria has warned fans to expect the unexpected, Reuters reported.
