MTV Australia Video Music Awards are being held at Sydney Olympic Park's Acer Arena next week, 29 April, 2007. 16 live performances are confirmed to date, including Canadian Punk rockers, Billy Talent and New Zealand pop-punk act, Goodnight Nurse.
Singer Justin Timberlake dominates the award hopefuls with six nominations, while punk/rock superstar Pink is in close contention with five nominations. Locals, Eskimo Joe and Wolfmother are head-to-head for best group, while Adelaide hip-hop masters Hilltop Hoods take on Eminem and Snoop Dogg in the best hip-hop video category.
Snoop Dogg will also be performing and will no doubt set the stage on fire, just two weeks after pleading guilty to weapons and drug charges in the US. UK fans were recently bitterly disappointed when he was forced to cancel a UK tour, after being refused entry into the country by the UK authorities.
