Mnet’s ’2011 MAMA’ to be held in Singapore


Last year, the ‘2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)’ was held at Macau, and this year, Mnet will be hosting the event in Singapore!

According to a majority of industry officials, the ’2011 MAMA’ will be held at the Indoor Stadium in Singapore on November 29th. Now that fans know the ‘when’, they’re curious about the ‘who’ — focus is now being put on whether or not SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment will be bringing their artists to the ceremony.
SM Entertainment has had a long standing conflict with Mnet, which was recently resolved this year. YG Entertainment, on the other hand, are undergoing several issues with their artists, making it highly likely that they’ll be sitting out this year.
Last year, the MAMA spent $4 million USD by holding their ceremony at the Cotai Arena and earned hot attention for being the first Korean awards ceremony to take place overseas. The event was broadcast in 16 different networks across Asia.
