The German city of Frankfurt will host this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.

It will be the second time the ceremony has been broadcast from the city since 2001.

The event will be aired live from the city's historic Festhalle on Sunday 11 November.

Belfast in Northern Ireland staged the event in 2011 with performances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Coldplay and Lady Gaga, with Selena Gomez hosting the ceremony.

Lady Gaga was the big winner on the night and picked up four awards - best song, best video, best female and biggest fans.

In previous years the show has come from Liverpool (2008), Edinburgh (2003) and London (1996).
