MAIN Art & ... Pop Culture MTV Europe Music Awards

Music stars the world over will gather in Berlin, Germany to celebrate the 16th annual MTV Europe Music Awards marking the fourth time that the Awards will be held in Germany — as the EMAs return to the original city where it was launched in 1994, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Watch for a splashy opening and various performances in front of the historic Brandeburg Gate this year as the EMAs also take advantage of the Berlin's newest addition to the music performance scene, the O2 World Arena.
