MTV's Video Music Awards to take place at the Madison Square Garden

MTV's Video Music Awards to take place at the Madison Square Garden

The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards will be held at Madison Square Garden for the first time ever. The VMAs have been broadcast from New York City 15 times to date - and actually started out with a broadcast from Radio City Music Hall - but never from MSG. In 2013 - the last time the VMAs were held in New York - they took place at the then-newly-built Barclays Center in Brooklyn. 

The VMAs will take place on the 28th of August, and continue to be an important date in the music awards calendar in spite of MTV's somewhat faded relevance when it comes to music content.

Sean Atkins, President of MTV, stated: “The ‘VMAs’ at MSG is a New York story too good to resist. The VMAs deliver some of pop culture’s most defining moments and we’re grateful to our New York home and Madison Square Garden for rolling out the red carpet for what is sure to be the biggest night in music.”
