The youngest ever Councillor in Belfast City Council, Laura McNamee has hailed news that Belfast ‘s Odyssey arena will host the MTV Europe Music Awards in November.
Alliance East Belfast Councillor Laura McNamee said: “This is excellent news for Belfast and will be very positive for our economy and tourism industry. Belfast is a great destination with a vibrant music and cultural scene, and being chosen to host this event will help us continue to successfully market the region around the world.
“The fact that the Odyssey arena in East Belfast is hosting this exciting event is extremely fitting as the area has provided many amazing musicians down the years like Van Morrison, Gary Moore and Duke Special.
“Belfast will continue to produce world-class musicians and this event might also inspire even more people here to get involved in music.”
