LONDON, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. pop star Beyonce has been announced as the final performer for the upcoming 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin.
MTV Networks International said Wednesday she had been added to the lineup for Thursday's prize presentation at Germany's O2 World arena.
Also slated to perform are Foo Fighters, Green Day, Jay-Z, Leona Lewis, Shakira, Tokio Hotel and U2.
Singer Katy Perry is to act as host of the event.
Actor and musician David Hasslehoff, hip-hop star Lil Kim, world heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko and actor Jesse Metcalfe were also announced as the final names in the presenter roster, joining the Jonas Brothers, Backstreet Boys, Juliette Lewis, Jean Reno, Miranda Cosgrove, Asia Argento, Bar Refaeli, Brody Jenner and Batista.
Beyonce's performance at the EMAs will be followed by the global music video premiere of her latest single "Video Phone," featuring her fellow EMA nominee Lady Gaga, which is to air on MTV TV and online platforms around the world immediately after the awards show.
Among the highlights expected at Thursday's event will be a short set by music icons U2, performed in front of a crowd of 10,000 at Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate -- a symbol of reconciliation and peace for the formerly divided city, organizers said.
