Juliette Lewis, Eve Head Down Under for MTV

Juliette Lewis is one of the first big-name international guests announced for this year’s MTV Australia Awards. Juliette will perform with her band The Licks, and said she’s thrilled about her coming trip Down Under.

“I’m so happy it’s in Australia. I’m sure it’s going to be loose – a great party vibe,” she told The Sydney Morning Herald.

“We’re so excited to be playing at such a big show.”

US rapper Eve will also perform at the awards show. And expect more celebrity announcements in the coming weeks. A-listers like Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and Paris Hilton are also rumoured to appear.

The MTV Australia Awards will be held at Redfern’s Australian Technology Park on April 26. Juliette and The Licks will apparently announce some Aussie sideshows soon.
