The South Korean breakthrough band, BTS, rapper Doja Cat, and Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin will rock on the forthcoming 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. As per EW, the massive awards event will air live from Barclays Center in The Big Apple on August 30 (Sunday) at 8 P.M. ET/PT.

The upcoming VMAs will mark as the first show to go live since the travel restrictions and cancellation of significant events in the country caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic.

In a Billboard report, the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards is the first performance of BTS and Doja Cat, while J Balvin will spend his second time in the extravagant stage.

For the time being, the host of the upcoming awards show is unknown and as well as the presenters, which will be announced in the latter. VMAs will also give prominence to a new category to be presented in the nearing event. The ‘Best in Quarantine Performance’ will be handed over to the artist who shows extreme versatility in performing at home.
