2024 MTV EMAs Nominees: Celebrating the Next Generation of Music

The 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards are set to take over Manchester on November 10, live from the brand-new Co-op Live arena. The night promises to be a high-energy celebration of music’s biggest stars, with British pop icon Rita Ora returning to host for a record-breaking third time. Having previously hosted the show in 2017 and in 2022, Ora surpasses past hosts like Katy Perry, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Ronan Keating, who held the mic twice.

This year’s nominees represent a diverse lineup, from major names like Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift, to international rising stars such as Ayra Starr, Le Sserafim, and Benson Boone. Collaborations are stealing the spotlight as well, with fan-favorite duets including Taylor Swift and Post Malone, Lisa and Rosalía, and Charli XCX with Billie Eilish in the running.
