Liverpool lands 2008 MTV awards
That's a great coup for the city in it's Capital of Culture year
"Liverpool's new Echo Arena will host next year's MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony, organisers have announced.
It will be the third time the annual event has been held in the UK, following shows in London in 1996 and Edinburgh in 2003.
"Not only is it the European Capital of Culture next year but the influence of its rich musical heritage is still felt today," producer Richard Godfrey said.
Munich's Olympiahalle hosts this year's show, which takes place on Thursday.
Mr Godfrey, the event's executive producer and MTV Networks senior vice-president, added that "it was only natural" that Liverpool should host the awards, scheduled for 6 November 2008."
