The day is finally upon us – the MTV EMAs are taking place in Manchester for the first time in the awards’ history.

Some of the biggest names in music are expected to descend on our city for a glittering awards ceremony hosted at the Co-op Live Arena.

Now in its 30th year, the MTV EMAs celebrates the biggest and best of the music industry across genres, with categories honouring the best music videos, collaborations, live shows and even fanbases.

This is the first time the global music celebration has ever been held in our city and it’s expected to attract some of the hottest names in the industry.

The awards themselves will be hosted by Rita Ora, with presenters including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Little Simz, Mabel and LL Cool J.
