Watch Overdrive at mtv.ca for all of September to watch any of the coverage on demand - including all of MY behind the scenes coverage from our trip down. There’s a lot more than just the awards going down in the week:
There’s a kickoff concert on Tuesday the 29th, press junkets all week, parties, secret concerts, and more. We’re going to do our best to get into all of these exclusive events and take boatloads of photos and get good interviews with big stars. Here’s the thing, IVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. So im crossing my fingers we’ll do ok. Whatever happens, I’ll be blogging it all each night, so watch this space for the updates as they come, and tons of photos.
