'MTV Spring Break' To Return In 2019

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MTV today announced it will bring back its legendary "MTV Spring Break" in 2019, expanding its fast-growing live events business on the heels of its acquisition of SnowGlobe Music Festival. The all-new "MTV Spring Break" will be held March 19^th-21^st at the Grand Oasis Hotel in Cancún, Mexico featuring its signature mix of high-energy performances, surprise celebrity guests, and thousands of young people. For the first time, MTV will also concurrently host alternative Spring Break events for the rising tide of young activists who use their free time to give back.

"MTV Spring Break" is among the most storied franchises in MTV history, having hosted artists from Lil Wayne to P!nk along with thousands of young people in locations throughout the Caribbean and American South. It joins MTV's fast-growing portfolio of events across the globe, which attract more than half a million attendees each year.  From the "MTV EMAs" which travel to a new city each year to the "MIAWs" in Mexico and Brazil or "Isle of MTV" in Malta, MTV produces more on-the-ground, live music events around the world than any other global youth media brand.

MTV's rapid expansion of its live events business marks its latest step to build on its resurgence and diversify and grow beyond cable. MTV currently leads all cable networks in ratings growth, driving its longest streak of growth in seven years. In June, MTV launched MTV Studios, which develops original series for SVOD and premium partners and recently announced a global reimagination of MTV's Real World for Facebook Watch. The new MTV Digital Studios is generating strong growth across platforms, doubling video streams in 2018 to date and growing to more than 250 million social media followers.
