The performer line-up for the 2015 “MTV Video Music Awards” is MAJOR. Joining previously announced performers Kanye West and The Weeknd, MTV recently unveiled that Pharrell, Demi Lovato, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Tori Kelly, A$AP Rocky and Twenty One Pilots will perform on the LIVE telecast airing this Sunday, August 30 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

The 2015 MTV VMAs will feature Miley Cyrus as host. In addition, Kanye West will make VMA history with an extended performance set that will serve as the ultimate precursor to his joining the exclusive club of legendary artists bestowed with the “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.” With this performance, West surpasses Madonna as the artist with the most VMA performances ever. The Weeknd is also confirmed to debut the first-ever televised performance of his hit single “Can’t Feel My Face.” Additional performers and presenters will be announced at a later date.

In addition, MTV has teamed up with world-renowned fashion designer Jeremy Scott to redesign the MTV Moonman for the 2015 “MTV Video Music Awards.” As homage to Jeremy and his creative talent, the 2015 VMA Moonman encapsulates the true iconic essence of both the fashion designer and the network. From the distinct color of the TV color bars, to the peace sign necklace, to Jeremy’s signature sneakers, the redesign of statue is part of MTV’s long-standing history of bridging the gap between the world of fashion and music.

Artists who win a 2015 “Video Music Award” will take home a special-edition Jeremy Scott Moonman, which was created exclusively for this year’s show.
