Mexico City is becoming a destination for high-profile events. Most recently, the Mexican capital was the site of the Miss Universe pageant, and last year the MTV Latin Music Awards. This year the awards will be back in the Distrito Federal, something that makes the city’s mayor very proud:

“For the second time we’re going to have the awards here in Mexico City….it’s the only city that’s hosted the awards for two years,” said Ebrard congratulating himself.

Calm yourself, it’s not the Oscars. But it does sound like it’s shaping up to be a memorable show. Cafe Tacuba is said to be headlining, and the city will set up 16 giant screens all over the city so that everyone can watch on October 18th.

You can’t blame Ebrard for being happy. According to Peru’s RPP, the awards are supposed to bring in $30 million for the city.
