British singer songwriter and global superstar Jessie J has been added to the line-up for this year’s Isle of MTV in Malta, MTV and the Malta Tourism Authority announced.

The show will be held on the Granaries, Floriana on June 26. The singer will join fellow UK sensation Rita Ora and dance collective Rudimental to rock the 50,000 strong crowd of music fans, with more acts still to be announced in the coming weeks.

As one of the biggest UK names to burst on to the global music scene in the last three years, ‘Do It Like A Dude’ star Jessie J is recognised for her unconventional musical style that mixes soul vocals with contemporary R&B, pop, electropop, and hip-hop beats, MTV said.

She has garnered various awards and nominations for her contributions to the music industry, including the 2011 Critics' Choice BRIT Award and the BBC's Sound of 2011, and has sold over 11 million singles and 2.5 million albums worldwide, storming across the live music scene with two sell-out tours and a string of acclaimed performances, including the 2011 MTV EMA.

“I would love to see you in the crowd in Malta as I will be performing on 26th June at the Isle of MTV,” she said. “Let’s party and go Wild!”

Bruce Gillmer, EVP, Music, Talent Programming and Events, VIMN, commented: “We’re thrilled to have Jessie J join our stellar Isle of MTV line-up! Her performance at the 2011 MTV EMA was unforgettable and it’s a real honour to welcome her back to the MTV stage. The great fans in Malta are in for a truly amazing event.”

As one of the coolest and most eclectic free European music events, Isle of MTV has built a reputation for showcasing some of the biggest names in international music. The annual music extravaganza has seen global acts such as Will.i.am, Flo Rida, Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, David Guetta, The Black Eyed Peas and LMFAO perform in Malta before an audience of more than 50,000 fans.
