Jay-Z to perform!

One of the world's most successful artists has just been added to our roster of performers: rap titan Jay-Z will be gracing the stage as a performer at this year's EMAs! In addition to recently surpassing Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most #1 albums ever, Jay-Z is also up for two EMAs this year: Best Male and Best Urban.

We are also announcing that British soul singer/songwriter Joss Stone will not only be presenting an award, but also making her hosting debut on our 2009 EMA: Red Carpet Show. Joss will interview the stars as they arrive for our glittering event and you can watch that exclusive show right here on 5th November from 8-9 PM CET.

We’re not done yet! Our list of celebrity presenters also grows with the addition of Sports Illustrated model and actress, Bar Refaeli; WWE superstar Batista; star of MTV’s The Hills and Bromance, Brody Jenner; and U.S. pop icons and Best Group nominees, Jonas Brothers.

We just hope the O2 World is built to hold all that starpower…
