POP stars Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande will perform at the MTV EMAs in Glasgow.
The pair will join host and performer Nicki Minaj for the star-studded event taking place at the city's SSE Hydro on November 9.
Best-selling UK male artist Ed was first to break the news on Thursday in a Facebook video to fans saying, "I'm going to be performing this year at the EMAs in Glasgow!"
Ariana, whose hits include Problem and Break Free, is nominated in six EMA categories while Ed is up for two.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: "Today's exciting announcement that Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran - two of the biggest names in music - are to perform at the MTV EMA shows that our countdown to hosting one of the world's premier music events is really gathering pace.
"The MTV EMA will showcase Glasgow to more than half a billion households through MTV's global network of channels; reinforcing our reputation as a world-class music destination."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
