Raffaele Annecchino, President & Managing Director of Viacom International Media Networks Southern & Western Europe, Middle East and Africa, added, “We’re tremendously excited to be hosting the MTV EMA in Spain for the fourth time and to be working in partnership with Seville. It is the first Creative City of Music to be recognized by UNESCO and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The city is a highly recognized center of creativity and musical activity, a vibrant environment that is the result of a long music tradition and influence on a global scale. In short, Seville is the perfect cultural hotspot to host the MTV EMA event.”
D. Juan Espadas, Mayor of Seville, said, “The decision to bring the MTV EMA to Seville confirms the great momentum this city experiences in terms of international projection. This is thanks to our culture, heritage and logistic capabilities to organize A-list congresses and events, which help us to showcase our city to attract investments and put Seville on the map.”
