Big names set to perform at Mobo Awards

The 15th annual Mobo awards will be held tonight featuring a host of international stars.

The "music of black origin" ceremony will be held at Liverpool's Echo Arena and presented by Strictly Come Dancing's Alesha Dixon and Radio 1 presenter Reggie Yates.

The show will close with a performance from Tinchy Stryder, who will be joined on stage by the year's leading MOBO nominee Tinie Tempah, as well as Professor Green, Devlin and Giggs - all the cream of the UK hip hop and grime scene.

X Factor runners up, boyband JLS, also have a world exclusive collaboration up their sleeves with a surprise US star, organisers said.

Tinie Tempah, NDubz, JLS, Professor Green, Jay Sean, Mark Ronson and The Business INTL, Roll Deep, and Nelly are already confirmed to perform live.

Guest presenters on the night will include last year's backstage host, Peter Andre, The Saturdays' Rochelle Wiseman, JLS, and Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams.
