People are still talking about the show put on last year for the MTV European Music Awards in Frankfurt, Germany. But this year’s show is going to top even that, with the new home the EMAs have found in Amsterdam! Very few details have been given just yet, but it has been confirmed that on November 10 the ceremony for the 20th annual European Music Awards will be held at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. And everyone is very excited!

“We’re very excited to partner with the city of Amsterdam, a true world class music city and top destination for artists,” said Bruce Gillmer, Executive Vice President of Talent and Music Programming/Events at Viacom International Media Networks. “Each year the MTV EMA celebrates the biggest names in music from every corner of the globe and showcases unbelievable performances from today’s most exciting acts.”

And he’s not wrong. Last year Justin Bieber, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and The Killers were just some of the most notable names in attendance, with many of those same performers taking the stage. This year, the ante on those performers could be pushed even higher considering the stage on which they’ll take place.

“Amsterdam, and the cutting edge Ziggo Dome, with its state of the art facilities, will be the perfect setting for what will be a very memorable and spectacular 2013 MTV EMA,” said Gillmer when confirming the location yesterday.

Last year the nominations weren’t announced until September, with performing acts being even later. So it will likely be several months before we get much more word than that. Who do you think will be performing and/or nominated? And do you think Heidi Klum will host again? If so, how many outfits do you think she’ll wear this time? (It was six last year!)
