We look forward to working with local partners on the ground to stage a live music event that Derry won’t forget."
Mayor Cllr Brenda Stevenson said: "It promises to be a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our city to a national and international audience. With a full weekend of activity, there will be music to suit all age groups. Today we are announcing details of the MTV music event which will be attractive to our young people in the city and wider region to experience one of the biggest music parties of the year."
