MTV Networks International has announced that Take That will perform at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool next month.

The 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Echo Arena, Liverpool – European Capital of Culture - on Thursday, November 6.

The band debuted for MTV in 1994 at the very first MTV Europe Music Awards at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, where they also scooped the award for Best Group.

The band is now returning to perform on stage at the 15th MTV Europe Music Awards following their comeback in 2006 and the sell-out tour in 2007, The Beautiful World Tour.

Take That’s performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool will precede the release of The Circus on December 1 - the long-awaited follow-up to the nine-times platinum Beautiful World album.

The first single from the new album, Greatest Day, will be released on November 24 and its performance at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards will be its first pan-European live performance by the band.

Take That will join fellow performers Beyoncé, P!nk, Duffy, The Killers and Kid Rock on the stage on the night of the awards, which is hosted by Katy Perry.
