MTV Reveals Live Performers At EMAs

MTV have announced the latest list of international pop performers who will descend upon Belfast for the 2011 MTV EMA.

Hosted by singer and actress Selena Gomez, (pictured) the 2011 MTV EMA will begin on Sunday, November 6th in Belfast's Odyssey arena.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that Coldplay, one of the UK's biggest bands, will perform the latest releases from their 'somewhat ignored' new album Mylo Xyloto. The EMA stage will then see its first performance from British R'n'B relative newcomer Jessie J. Meanwhile Los Angeles-based producers turned artists LMFAO, whose ubiquitous 'Party Rock Anthem' dominated the top spot on iTunes charts in 19 countries, will also make their EMA debut.

The three acts are each up for multiple EMAs this year and join previously announced act the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Speaking of her nomination, singer Jessie J said: "I can't quite believe I'm nominated for three awards."
