Last year the MTV EMAs were supposed to take place in Paris. They were canceled at the time because of the Middle East conflict. A new venue has been found for this year.
The music broadcaster MTV wants to hold its Europe Music Awards (EMA) in the English city of Manchester this year. The organizers said the award ceremony was planned for November 10th. There As music is at the heart of Manchester’s extensive cultural heritage, the vibrant city will guarantee an outstanding live show. The awards have been presented since 1994.
Last year, the celebration planned in Paris was canceled as a precautionary measure due to the Middle East conflict after bomb threats against schools, airports and tourist attractions increased in France.
The event took place in Düsseldorf in 2022 – US musician Taylor Swift won four prizes at the time. For the first time in ten years, the award ceremony took place in Germany.
