Toronto, ON (April 9, 2009) – Pop culture fanatics across the planet mark your calendars for the only street-level award show on earth. MuchMusic announced today that the most fan-friendly event of the year, the 2009 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS airs live from the station’s headquarters in downtown Toronto on Sunday, June 21. Fans are sure to be blown away with massive announcements still to come. Last year, hundreds of thousands of fans watched as torrential rain soaked the MMVAs for the first time in history. But that didn’t even come close to dampening the spirits of screaming fans. This year, rain or shine, MuchMusic once again throws it down.
“The MMVAs is Canada ’s Super Bowl for youth,” said Brad Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Much MTV Group, CTV Inc. “The sheer unpredictability of our live street party makes for a hell of an event for every fan, whether watching live in person or from whatever device that makes them happy. It’s the single loudest and craziest party of the year and brings together the biggest musical acts and celebrities in the world.”
Last year’s performers included Rihanna, Simple Plan, New Kids On The Block, Hedley, Girlicious, Kardinal Offishall and Akon, Flo Rida, illScarlett, Sean Kingston, and JabbaWockeeZ. The 2008 MMVAs festivities also included City and Colour, Melanie C., Sum 41, Whitney Port , Bedouin Soundclash, Chace Crawford, Rainn Wilson, Jesse McCartney, and more.
