It’s A Funk-Off! Bruno Mars & DNCE Kick Off The 2016 EMA In Funky Style

Rotterdam is the luckiest place in the world right now...

Sunday, November 6, 2016 - 20:50

The 2016 MTV EMAs kicked off in fine funky style tonight (6th November) with Bruno Mars opening this year’s ceremony with his party TUUUNE ’24K Magic’.

Introduced by our host Bebe Rexha, Mars emerged from a tunnel onto our immense stage at the Ahoy Rotterdam flanked by backing singers and dancers, dressed in his casual best.

But as soon as we could throw our pinky rings up to the moon, we were thrust into our second performance of the night with DNCE actually defying death on a suspended stage hoisted high above the crowd for ‘Body Moves’ and a rip roaring sing-a-long of ‘Cake By The Ocean’.

We were literally couldn’t watch at one point! If there were an EMA to give away for Most Daring Band - HANDS DOWN they’d win. Plus any excuse to get close to Joe Jonas…
