LIVERPOOL CONFIRMED AS HOST CITY FOR THE 15TH MOBO AWARDS

Multi-platinum selling artist and MOBO ambassador Leona Lewis joined MOBO Awards founder, Kanya King MBE, today to announce Liverpool as the host city for the 2010 MOBO Awards in association with Lebara Mobile. The annual awards will this year be celebrating their 15th birthday at the Echo Arena on 20th October.

Over the last 15 years MOBO has showcased and honoured some of the music industry's finest talent with performances from diverse UK and international artists including Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, Jay Z, Destiny's Child and Sade. Last year's event, which saw the Awards transfer out of London for the first time, featured appearances from among others JLS, N-Dubz, Alexandra Burke, Kelly Rowland and Jermaine & La Toya Jackson. Now the City of Liverpool is being passed the MOBO baton for the first time and gearing up for a sensational Awards ceremony in October.

Leona Lewis said, "I’m the proud owner of two MOBO Awards and am delighted to be here in Liverpool as a MOBO ambassador to help commemorate their 15th year. I think Liverpool is the perfect choice for this year’s MOBO Awards."

The MOBO Organisation opens a ticket ballot for the 2010 Awards today which runs throughout the month of June. Full details of how to enter for a chance to buy tickets are available on www.mobo.com
