AUCKLAND FRIDAY MARCH 6, 2009: The Vodafone MTV Australia Awards 2009 have announced The Fray as the latest international music giants to join its growing list of performers. The band will take to the stage to perform live at the Awards on Friday, March 27 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour.

“The Fray’s heartfelt songs have struck an emotional chord with International and Australian audiences. Their addition to the line-up will truly complement the diverse range of world class performers at this year’s show.” said Rebecca Batties, General Manager, Music Brands, MTV Networks Australia and New Zealand.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado in the United States, The Fray’s #1 debut album ‘How To A Save Life’ (2005), saw the title track rocket into the Top 5 singles charts in the US, Ireland, Sweden, Canada and Australia. Since then the group has had a string of successes including their latest runaway hit, ‘You Found Me’, which is currently number 35 on the New Zealand RIANZ singles chart and rising.

Joining The Fray as performers on the Vodafone MTV Australia Awards 2009 will be The Killers, Kings Of Leon (via satellite) and Adelaide’s Sia. Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz will host this year’s show, while The Hills cast member and ‘It Girl’, Audrina Patridge, will host the ‘The Red Carpet At The Vodafone MTV Australia Awards’.
