You Tube is launching its own music awards – and Lady Gaga will perform at the first event.

The Google-owned company announced Eminem and Arcade Fire will also perform at the You Tube Music Awards on November 3.

The event will take place at Pier 36 in New York City and will be streamed live online.

The awards show will honour “artistes and songs that You Tube fans have turned into global hits over the past year”. Nominees will be announced on October 17.

Actor Jason Schwartzman will host the show, which will also feature events from Seoul, Moscow, London and Brazil.
