The 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards were planned to take place on 5 November 2023 at the Paris Nord Villepinte in Paris, France.[1] The ceremony was cancelled on 19 October due to the Israel–Hamas war, becoming the first EMAs to be cancelled in its history.[2][3]

Announcement and cancellation

[edit]

On 11 May 2023, MTV announced that the awards show would be held in Paris; the city hosted the ceremony for the first time in 1995.[4] The planned performers and presenters were announced on 17 October 2023.[5]

On 19 October 2023, Paramount Global announced the cancellation of the ceremony due to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, and France's terrorism high alert and airports security threats.[6][7] It was the first time that an EMAs was cancelled in its history. Despite this, the voting remained open until 31 October and the winning artists, who were revealed on 5 November, received their awards at a later date.[8][9]
