All the Eurovision artists who have performed, presented and won at the MTV EMAs

Ever since the first MTV Europe Music Awards (MTV EMAs) took place back in the 1990's, Eurovision artists have had a strong connection with the awards show.

Over the last three decades five Eurovision acts have performed at the MTV EMAs, including three Eurovision winning artists, six Eurovision artists have presented awards and three dozen artists have won MTV EMAs!

After this this year's MTV EMA nominations have been revealed to include a record eight Eurovision artists, we take a look all the Eurovision artists who have performed, presented and won at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Eurovision artists who have performed at the MTV EMAs

Overall five Eurovision artists have performed at the MTV EMAs. The first was Irish Eurovision artist Nicky Byrne who performed 'If I Let You Go' as part of his boy band Westlife back in 1999. The Irish lads performed in the pre-show which was fittingly hosted in Dublin. The three most recent Eurovision artists to perform were all Eurovision winners.

In 2006 Eurovision winners Lordi from Finland became the first Eurovision artists and winners to perform during the MTV EMA main show. Lordi performed their Eurovision winning song 'Hard Rock Hallelujah' in Copenhagen, Denmark. They didn't hold back with their performance which included pyros and 110% energy!

At the show Lordi were nominated in the "Best Finnish Act" category. Unfortunately they lost to Helsinkian rock band Poets of the Fall.

Måneskin - 'Mammamia'

Performed at the 2021 MTV Europe Music Awards

The second ever Eurovision act to perform in the MTV EMA main show were Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin.

They were nominated in the "Best Rock", "Best Group" and "Best Italian Act" categories, and won "Best Rock".

At the 2022 MTV EMA show they were nominated for "Best Rock" and and "Best Italian Act". This year they would hope to get their next MTV EMA win having received an incredible four nominations.
