Blackpinks Lisa, Halsey, Benson Boone, Lenny Kravitz to Perform at MTVs VMAs

Benson Boone, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz and Blackpink’s Lisa are joining the roster of artists slated to perform at MTV’s 2024 VMAs live on Wednesday, September 11th at 8 p.m. ET/PT from New York’s UBS Arena.

The quartet joins previously announced performers Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Camila Cabello and Rauw Alejandro.

Newcomer Boone currently has the year’s biggest single with “Beautiful Things,” from his debut album “Fireworks and Rollerblades.” Halsey will return to the VMAs stage to perform a new song from her upcoming album. Lisa will make her solo debut on MTV’s main stage on the heels of her smash single single “Rockstar” and latest track, “New Woman,” featuring Rosalia. Finally, veteran rocker Kravitz will return to the VMA stage for the first time in more than 25 years.

Taylor Swift leads VMA nominees with 10, followed by Post Malone with nine (most of those for his duet with Swift, “Fortnight”). Carpenter is tied with Ariana Grande and Eminem with six nominations each. Following behind with multiple nods are Megan Thee Stallion and SZA (five each), and Lisa, Olivia Rodrigo and Teddy Swims (four each).

Roan is a nominee for best new artist at the VMAs. Her competitors in that category are Shaboozey, Boone, Roan, Swims, Tyla and Gracie Abrams. (Carpenter is not nominated for new artist, likely because she already has a substantial history of recordings going into 2024, as evidenced by her appearance on the VMAs pre-telecast last year… though it’s believed the Grammys are going to rule Carpenter eligible for their own new artist category.)
