BTS is set to release their new single "Dynamite" on Aug. 21, and will take to the stage to perform the track at the VMAs for the first time. This will be the band's first time performing at the VMAs as well, a detail MTV did not miss out on hyping in their Instagram announcement.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it's unclear how much of the show will be live and how much will be pre-recorded or shot remotely. According to MTV, this year's show will air across linear and digital platforms from Brooklyn's Barclays Center, as well as from various locations throughout New York City.

In addition to the performers, the 2020 VMAs nomination list was stacked with the biggest artists in music. Ariana and Lady Gaga led the nominations list with nine nods each, while Billie Eilish trailed just behind them with six. The Weeknd also scooped up six nominations and Taylor Swift's name was spotted in five categories.
