One of the biggest global annual music events celebrating the hottest artists from around the world, the 2014 MTV EMA was punctuated with outrageous, unexpected moments, once-in-a-lifetime collaborations and rousing performances that will undoubtedly go down in history. This year’s show transformed Glasgow’s SSE Hydro into an unforgettable time-travelling extravaganza, catapulting viewers through memories of the most outlandish moments in the MTV EMA’s 20-year history. The 2014 MTV EMA broadcasted live to MTV channels worldwide from the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on Monday, 10 November at 2am (TH/WIB) and 3am (SG/MY/PH)*.

The show kicked-off by transporting viewers back to 1994, where a young Nicki Minaj watched the first-ever MTV EMA from her bedroom before traveling into the future, making a grand entrance into the 2014 MTV EMA in a frilled ball gown and sequined bra . “Her Royal Minajesty” truly commandeered the evening, taking home the award for Best Hip Hop, and even giving the audience a show-stopping, jaw-dropping blend of her biggest hits including ‘Super Bass’, ‘Anaconda’ and a global debut performance of her new track ‘Bed of Lies’, which featured a surprise appearance by Skylar Grey. The host also made it rain, telling the Glasgow crowd, “it’s my round!” before showering them with enough “Minaj money” for 1,000 free drinks.

One of the greatest rock bands of all time, U2 took to the MTV EMA stage for a fourth time with a poignant, understated rendition of ‘Every Breaking Wave’, accompanied by a strings section. Alicia Keys serenaded the crowd from the nearby viewing party at the O2 Academy Glasgow, with an inspired performance of her Best Song with a Message-nominated track ‘We Are Here’ being beamed into the SSE Hydro and to MTV EMA viewers the world over. Best Song and Best Female winner Ariana Grande flew over the audience in a perspex bubble chair, treating fans to a Barbarella-esque medley of her smash hits ‘Problem’ and ‘Break Free’, and Ed Sheeran brought his chart-topping track ‘Thinking Out Loud’ to life, lighting up the stage with an elaborate music box.

Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne made his triumphant return to MTV to accept this year’sGlobal Icon Award. In a surprise closing performance, Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil joined guitar legend Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators to pay tribute toOzzy with an epic rendition of his classic hit ‘Crazy Train’.

Electro-pop songstress Kiesza teleported from Glasgow’s Royal Exchange Square into the arena via a classic red phone booth to perform her track ‘Hideaway’ surrounded by popping dancers. British songstress Charli XCX set the arena ablaze with a glam-rock / punk rendition of her hits ‘Boom Clap’ and ‘Break The Rules’, and UK rock duo Royal Blood rocked the house, playing ‘Figure It Out’ in front of a two-storey wall of screaming fans in the middle of the auditorium. Best World Stage winner Enrique Iglesias called on the crowd to be part of his medley of ‘Freak’ and ‘Bailando’, with thousands of fans donning xylobandsto light up the floor of the SSE Hydro.

True to form, madness prevailed. Katy Perry revealed an unusual obsession with Minaj’s “pillows”, and the show further honoured the host’s rear with a “butt putt” mini-golf green in the middle of the arena. Redfoo took to the stage dressed in a kilt to present the award for Best Pop to One Direction, having earlier revealed he was going commando on the MTV EMA red carpet, which was chosen by fans via social media with the hashtag #UnderFoosKiltEMA. In another nod to the heritage of the 2014 host city, David Hasselhoff dressed up in blue face paint to become “BraveHoff”.

Before closing out the evening, Queen Nicki announced that the 2015 MTV EMA will take place in Milan, Italy at the Mediolanum Forum on Sunday, 25 October 2015. Italy and the city of Milan will serve as the official location for Expo 2015, the Universal Exhibition, and the MTV EMA will close out a year of international events taking place in Milan.

The upcoming 2014 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix™ promoted under the banner “Sepang Comes Alive” is already living up to its tagline as internationally acclaimed DJ Calvin Harris is set to perform as part of the after race concert on the 30th of March 2014 at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Helipad.

The Scottish-born singer, songwriter, and producer, dubbed as the King of Electronic Dance Music was also recently announced as the 2013 Forbes’ Electronic Cash Kings List and currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most top ten hits from a single album in the UK, a record previously held by The King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. The double-platinum-selling Harris sprang to prominence with his debut album I Created Disco in 2007 and has topped the charts around the world with two number one albums to date. With a string of number one singles, his most recent album 18 Months features chart toppers such as Feel So Close, his collaboration with Rihanna on We Found Love, and Let’s Go, which features Ne-Yo. He is set to enthrall fans with his brand of music that has captivated audiences around the world.

“Each year we try to elevate the excitement and entertainment value of the Malaysian Grand Prix and bringing Calvin Harris for the post-race concert is going to be a big hit with the local and international crowd as the perfect finale of our celebration,” said SIC’s CEO, Dato’ Razlan Razali.

“We are currently working with the relevant ministries to feature DJ Calvin Harris as this is his debut performance in Malaysia and exclusive to South East Asia for the Malaysian F1”, he added.

The After Race Concert is accessible to all grandstand and C2 hillstand tickets holders. What makes it more exciting, beginning January 1, SIC has announced 40% discount to all MyKad holders for the 2014 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix™ tickets.

“Recognising the rising cost of living in Malaysia, people would have set different priorities in spending. Therefore, we have always tried to encourage Malaysians to come and enjoy their home race, thus being the home of Malaysian motorsports, we felt that it is important for us to provide such promotions to allow the locals to have a chance to experience and witness the world-class F1 race,” said Dato’ Razlan further.

Tickets are now on sale and can also be purchased at the KL Sentral ERL Departure Hall (in front of Coffee Bean) every day from 9.30am until 9.30pm. There will be other ticket sales points, which SIC will announce from time to time, as the race draws near. The promotion will end 31st January 2014.

Targeting 125,000 spectators, with 30% expected to be foreigners, the event is seen as the perfect platform to promote the Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2014. Fans will not just get to experience the event LIVE, but their ticket unleashes more than just the thrill of the race. With the return of ONE TICKET UNLIMITED (1TU), a loyalty programme introduced by SIC will serve as the perfect getaway pass for race fans to discover a myriad of activities, happenings and travel opportunities. Apart from being a passport for additional discounts at the 2014 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix™, 1TU also provides ticket holders a host of other privileges, offering an exhilarating affair of shopping, partying, and world class racing action and traveling which further enhances the whole experience of VMY 2014.
