Stars are arriving on the red carpet at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow for the MTV Europe Music Awards.

U2, Alicia Keys and Ed Sheeran are set to perform at the ceremony, hosted by US rapper Nicki Minaj.

Ed Sheeran said he was looking forward to a night out in Glasgow and had fond memories of when the Mobos were in the city.

Ed said: "I think everyone knows that Scotland is a good night out. I had a really good night last time."

And singer Amy MacDonald said she was sure Glasgow would put on a show, and was looking forward to seeing rocker Slash perform.

She said: "I'm just here as a spectator so I'm looking forward to the party.

"And I'm sure that Glasgow will put on a show. The people here are just so friendly, they just want to have fun and want everyone to do well."

Brother Ben added: "I think it's a real privilege for Glasgow to have the EMAs and I think we are going to make Glasgow proud."

Ben also said Biffy Clyro were looking forward to their Barrowland gigs.

He said: "It'll round off the year, the gigs at the Barrowlands. There are a lot of songs we have to relearn.
