He’s at it again. Usher will make his return to the MTV Video Music Awards stage with new music on August 24, the network has announced.
The multi-award winner will join Australian pop punk band 5 Seconds of Summer and hot artist Ariana Grande, who will be making her VMA debut, at the star-studded award show in California. More performers will be announced.
One of the best-selling musical artists in history, eight-time Grammy winner Usher is set to release his eighth studio album later this year, featuring his current single Good Kisser.
“Can’t wait to play the VMAs this year,” 5 Seconds of Summer said in a statement. It’s a huge honour and we always love coming over to the States. We can’t wait to play on such a big stage.”
The band, made up of Luke Hemmings (lead vocals, guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, vocals), Calum Hood (bass guitar, vocals) and Ashton Irwin (drums, vocals), recently completed sold-out headline tours in the UK, Australia and North America and is currently on a worldwide stadium jaunt with One Direction.
