LONDON: Come November and the celebrity-studded MTV Europe Music Awards will be held at the Ocean Terminal in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The BBC Website has reported that Scotland fought off competition from Copenhagen and Belfast to hold the event. The week-long event is expected to provide a major tourist boost as it would attract thousands of visitors. The event will also be beamed live into the homes of millions of people around the globe.
Media reports indicate that Kylie Minogue and Madonna could be among the artists who could make their appearances.
Rapper Eminem was the big winner in 2002, picking up awards for best male artist, best album and best hip-hop artist. He beat Robbie Williams - the previous years winner. Kylie Minogue picked up two prizes, as did rockers the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Linkin Park.
Some of the biggest names in pop and rock gathered for the 2002 MTV Europe awards, which was watched by a 12,000-strong live crowd (including Pierce Brosnan and Pamela Anderson) and millions more around the world on TV.
