Ever since the global pandemic started, all social events were halted. To say that a music award was happening in New York City would sound absurd a few months ago, but that is what MTV is doing on 30 August 2020.
With the local transmission rate at 1%, MTV Video Music Awards will be the first music-related gathering in the Big Apple since COVID-19 happened. If you think virtually, think again. It is going to happen live and in-person! Albeit without an audience, the music award will be held at outdoor locations across New York City.

So far, BTS, Miley Cyrus, Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, MGK with Travis Barker and blackbear, CNCO, J Balvin, Maluma and Roddy Ricch have announced to be performers with Miley Cyrus set to debut her new single exclusively.
Another special feature of the MTV VMAs 2020 is the announcement of two new categories: Best Music Video from Home and Best Quarantine Performance. Click here to view the complete list of nominees!
