Mnet has also released details about the artist who are set to attend, venue and ticket information through their partner for the award show, The Shilla Duty Free.

The show will take place on Sunday, November 28 from 5:00PM to 11:00PM at the Venetian Macau Resort – Cotai Arena with performances by Rain, Se7en, 2NE1, Big Bang, 2PM, 2AM, miss A, Wonder Girls, Tiger JK, SG Wannabe, FT Island, MBLAQ, KARA, Brown Eyed Girls, Kim TaeWoo, Park HyoShin, Wheesung, T-ara, Baek JiYoung, Uhm JungHwa, Gummy, Seo InYoung, Davichi, 4Minuteand other Japanese and Chinese singers.

Many were wondering how Korean fans would make it to Macau. Well, those who buy something from The Shilla Duty Free shop at Seoul, Incheon Airport, Jeju Island or on the internet will get a 2 nights 4 days stay ticket in Macau. The ticket won’t be entirely free as those who decide to attend will have to pay 22% of the price, but it’s better than having to pay the whole thing, don’t you think?

It looks like everything is falling in place for the MAMA 2010, even though it was said that the line-up for the artist performing could be subject to changes, it gives us a really good idea of the big scope of this year’s award show. Stay tuned to Kpoplive as the nominees are revealed on October 28th!
