Kings Of Leon and Kid Rock will perform live at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs), it's been announced.

Kei$ha will also appear alongside previously announced performers Katy Perry and Linkin Park in Madrid next month.

The ceremony will be hosted by Hollywood actress Eva Longoria, who said she was “excited” to be comparing the event.

“I am so proud that the two most nominated artists this year are two amazing women - Lady Gaga and Katy Perry - who are making some of the most exciting music in pop right now,” she added.

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry both have four nominations, including nods for Best Pop, Best Female and Best Song.

Elsewhere, Eminem has been shortlisted for Best Song, Best Male and Best Video for his Rihanna-featuring track, 'Love The Way You Lie'.

The 17th annual EMAs will take place at Caja Magica in Madrid on November 7.
