Finally, after much anticipation, the venue for the fifth edition of MTV World Stage 2014 was decided; this year it’s the Riviera Maya’s turn! The region’s beautiful beaches have been selected to welcome the various international artists that will be part of the event, as reported by the governor of the state.

Quintana Roo’s Secretary of Tourism Laura Fernandez Piña stated that “all events translate into high occupancy, but the most important thing about MTV’s events around the world is the image portrayed of the place hosting the concert”.

The gig will be broadcasted in two phases: the first will reach all of Latin America and the second will be broadcasted internationally in over 150 countries around the world, reaching over 550 million homes.

Although the artists performing at the concert haven’t been announced yet, some celebrities’ names have been mentioned by fans on MTV’s social media channels, including Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and Linkin Park among others. The MTV World Stage 2014 will be completely free; you can get the tickets from the channel’s official Latin America website.
