Sunday's ceremony will see performances from a diverse range of acts including Le Sserafim, Raye, Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, The Warning and Pet Shop Boys. And on the subject of legendary artists, hip hop icon Busta Rhymes will collect the 2024 EMA Global Icon Award. Woo Hah!!

Watch EMAs 2024 from anywhere with a VPN
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the awards ceremony on your usual home streaming service?
You can still watch the 2024 MTV EMAs thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. Ideal when you're away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you want to view your usual U.K. service, you'd select a United Kingdom server from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to Pluto TV or another service detailed here and stream the EMAs for free.
