We Announce Our First Two Performers: Katy Perry & Linkin Park!

We’ve just announced that two previous EMA winners are confirmed to perform at this year’s EMAs. That’s right, pop superstar Katy Perry and rock gods Linkin Park will be taking the stage at the Caja Magica on 7th November, 2010!

It’s bound to be a good night for Katy Perry as she also ties with Lady Gaga for most nominations with an astounding five nods apiece. The two ladies will go head to head in four of the five categories they’re nominated in (Best Pop, Best Female, Best Song and Best Video). Meanwhile, performers Linkin Park have a chance to add to their trophy cases themselves as they are nominated in the Best Rock and Best Live Act categories.

Other nomination highlights include Eminem’s four nods, cementing his reclaimed hip hop crown, and rock bands Thirty Seconds to Mars and Muse’s three nominations apiece. Best New Act looks like it could be one of the toughest races of the night, with shining new stars Justin Bieber, B.o.B., Jason Derülo, Ke$ha and Plan B battling it out for the silver trophy.
