The show opened with Faithless and their performance of "God is a DJ". Madonna made her MTV Europe Music Awards debut with "The Power of Good-Bye" and Robbie Williams made his fourth appearance performing "Millenium" / "Let Me Entertain You".
Manic Street Preachers, Busta Rhymes and All Saints also took to the stage. German Rock band Rammstein turned up the heat with a fire-filled performance of their track "Du Hast".
The Spice Girls won Best Group for the second year in a row and the Free Your Mind Award was awarded to Serbian independent radio station, B92.
