NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Music legends, Olympians and supermodels are among the list of presenters at MTV’s Video Music Awards on Wednesday, bringing even more star power to the already stacked event hosted by Megan Thee Stallion at UBS Arena, just outside the New York City limits in Elmont, Nassau County.
The full list of presenters, released by the VMAs on Friday, includes famed musicians, rappers, comedians and hosts, supermodels and athletes.
Cyndi Lauper, Lil Nas X, Halle Bailey, Miranda Lambert, Tinashe, Damiano David (Måneskin), Naomi Scott, Suki Waterhouse, DANNA, Thalía and Addison Rae are among the powerhouse singers presenting awards, and they will be joined by iconic rappers Big Sean, French Montana, Flavor Flav, Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe.
DJ Khaled, supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, hosts Amelia Dimonldenberg and Carson Daly, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and reality TV star-entrepreneur Paris Hilton round out the presenters list.
These celebs will hit the stage during the 8–11 p.m. show to hand out awards between previously-announced performers like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and LL Cool J, but the VMAs also announced that it will have an extended play stage for performers who double as first-time VMA nominees, Jessie Murph and Teddy Swims.
The 6:30-8 p.m. pre-show—hosted by Nessa, Dometi Pongo and Kevan Kenney—will be streamed on MTV, MTV2, CMT and Logo, and feature a special performance by first-time VMA nominee and K-Pop girl group LE SSERAFIM, who will be making their United States award show debut.
Fans can catch the show on MTV at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. General fan voting for most categories ends Friday at 11:59 p.m., though voting for “Best New Artist" remains active through the show. Vote here!
