We look back at when Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera attended the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards in Leith.
Celebrities descended on Edinburgh for the awards ceremony held at Leith’s Ocean Terminal. Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, The Black Eyed Peas and Pink all performed, with Justin Timberlake taking home the top prize.
Crowds gathered to watch the event on a giant screen in Princes Street Gardens, where The Chemical Brothers and The Flaming Lips put on a performance for fans.
A 6,000 capacity big top arena outside the Ocean Terminal was specially built for the event. At the time, the shopping center was a new and exciting addition to the area. Now, in 2022, the building is set to be partially demolished under newly approved £100m plans to transform Leith Docks.
