Pharrell, Demi Lovato Set for MTV Video Music Awards

MTV’s added Pharrell Williams, Demi Lovato, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Tori Kelly, A$AP Rocky and Twenty One Pilots to the list of performers set to take the stage during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. The Weeknd was previously confirmed for the show and Miley Cyrus will be doing her tongue-sticking-out best to host the awards show. MTV will air the VMAs live at 9pm ET/PT (tape delayed on the West Coast) on Sunday, August 30th.

Kanye West will be accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award which should provide one of the event’s more interesting segments. Will any of the famous celebrity attendees pull a Kanye and interrupt West as he accepts an award which easily could have gone to dozens of other influential artists? Or will Kanye be allowed to deliver an acceptance speech without someone else taking the stage to steal his moment? It’s a matter of class vs karma.

This year’s VMAs are executive produced by Jesse Ignjatovic, Van Toffler, Stephen Friedman, Amy Doyle and Garrett English. Hamish Hamilton is directing.
