An extended list of its performers today has been announced. Joining previously confirmed acts of Demi Lovato, Karol G, Måneskin, and Stray Kids are Doja Cat, Lil Wayne, Anitta, Kelsea Ballerini, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER. The event is slated to air live from Newark’s Prudential Center on Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. ET.
Doja continued her strong VMAs streak, aiming to scoop up five awards this year. Her hit single “Paint the Town Red” rocketed to the No. 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in less than a month. It’s an exciting time for the artist who is prepping for her first North American tour featuring Ice Spice and Doechii. She also revealed the updated cover art for her Scarlet album this morning.
Meanwhile, Wayne is returning to the Video Music Awards stage after more than a decade. He’s set to perform his new single, “Kat Food,” releasing this Friday (Sept. 1). Once a mainstay of the ceremony, the New Orleans native is in the running for Best Hip Hop thanks to his recent collaboration “Kant Nobody” with Swizz Beatz and DMX.
