The Tings Tings Add English Twist to the EMAs!

By News Desk

The Ting Tings have just been added to our already massive performers line-up for the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards! The British power-pop duo will make their EMA debut this Thursday.

The Ting Tings - Katie White and Jules De Martino - have released several massive singles this year including the UK number 1 hit "That's Not My Name." Their debut album We Started Nothing also hit Number 1 and is the only debut album from a UK band to achieve Platinum status in 2008 to date.

Following the success of last year's VIP Bar, Jared Leto and members of 30 Seconds to Mars are to host the VIP Bar in the Echo Arena. Not only will they be interviewing many of the stars of the show, but they're enlisting our audience to take part by submitting questions that could be asked LIVE on air.

Triple-nominated Leona Lewis - in categories Album of the Year, Act of 2008 and Europe's Favourite Act - will also attend the MTV Europe Music Awards to present an award and is joined by Craig David and multi-platinum singer/songwriter Anastacia. Anastacia last performed at the 2004 MTV Europe Music Awards in Rome and returned in 2005 in Lisbon with Leto as a presenter.

Catch all of these superstars - and many more - only at the MTV 2008 Europe Music Awards LIVE this Thursday, November 6.
