Great Scot! Enrique Iglesias is heading to Scotland…
The 38-year-old Spanish singing sensation has joined the lineup of performers at the MTV European Music Awards in Glasgow next month, according to show organizers.
Following his awards show performance, Iglesias will embark on the European leg of his Sex and Love world tour.
At this year’s EMAs, Iglesias is nominated in the Best World Stage category. After being named Best Spanish Act, he also has the opportunity to be voted into the Best Worldwide Act award category.
Iglesias joins the high profile list of performers that includes Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris and Nicki Minaj, who will host this year’s show .
British rock legend Ozzy Osbourne will be honored with the Global Icon Award.
Additionally, MTV has unveiled a new, socially focused award category for the MTV EMAs: Best Song with a Message. The honor is designed to recognize songs that are having “an empowering impact on young people, tackling important issues they care about and inspiring them to have a social conscience.”
The nominees in the category are “We Exist” from Arcade Fire, which addresses gender identity; Alicia Keys‘ “We Are Here,” a call for an end to violence around the world; “Take Me to Church” from Hozier, which tackles homophobia; Beyonce‘s “Pretty Hurts,” which examines obsession with appearance; and “All About That Bass” from Meghan Trainor, which talks about self-acceptance and inner beauty.
Ally Brooke Hernandez, Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui and their fellow Fifth Harmony band mates have earned their first-ever MTV Europe Music Award nod. The all-girl group, winners of the MTV Artist to Watch award at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, are up competing for Best U.S. Act against Katy Perry, Beyonce, Eminem and Pharrell Williams.
Meanwhile, Enrique Iglesias is nominated in the Best World Stage category for his MTV World Stage Isle of MTV Malta performance.
In all, Katy Perry leads the pack of MTV Europe Music Awards nominees with seven nominations.
Like last year, MTV will broadcast a U.S. pre-show telecast, this time from Miami, on Sunday, November 9 at 7:00 pm ET/PT ahead of the actual awards show, which will take place from Glasgow’s Hydro at 9:00 pm ET/PT.
Voting is open in all categories on MTVEMA.com and closes Nov. 8 at 11:59 p.m. CEST.
