MTV music awards to hit Berlin for Wall anniversary
2008-11-26
BERLIN (AFP) - Germany's capital will stage the MTV Europe Music Awards next November as part of celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the music channel said on Wednesday. "The first ever EMAs took place in the city back in 1994 and to celebrate the historic anniversary we're heading back," MTV said in a statement. The awards show, on November 5, will be held at Berlin's landmark Brandenburg Gate and a new sport arena. The Berlin Wall, a 155-kilometre (97-mile) stretch of reinforced concrete and barbed wire, was part of the "Iron Curtain" that cut through Europe, dividing it into East and West for more than 40 years. It was pulled down on November 9, 1989, paving the way to German reunification one year later.
