Singer Bruno Mars will perform his new single "24K Magic" at the MTV Europe Music Awards next month.

The 31-year-old singer, who has previously performed twice at the EMAs in 2011 and 2013, is the first act to be announced as a performer at the glitzy awards ceremony taking place on November 6 in Rotterdam, Holland, reported Female First.

"We're thrilled to announce Bruno's return to EMAs and can't imagine a more appropriate way to jump start our biggest night of the year. Many more surprises to follow!" the show's executive producer Bruce Gilmer said.

The pop megastar will be taking to the stage to perform "24K Magic", which was released on October 7, in what will be his first live global performance of any of the songs from his forthcoming album of the same name.
 

This year, the star has failed to bag himself a nomination, with the likes of Beyonce and Justin Bieber dominating the categories with a whopping five nominations each. The two stars will go head-to-head in the battle for the Biggest Fans Award, which the 22-year-old star won last year.

Coldplay and Adele are both up for four awards each, although neither of them will take home the award for Best Act in the UK and Ireland, as pop trio Years & Years have already been announced as the recipients.

The MTV EMAs will be broadcast live from Rotterdam on November 6.
