The 2024 MTV VMAs is moving back a day and will now take place on Wednesday, Sept. 11 instead of the previously announced Tuesday, Sept. 10. The move is an effort to avoid having the VMAs air opposite the Sept. 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
The 2024 VMAs will continue to be held at the UBS Arena on New York’s Long Island and will air live on MTV at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Additionally Monday, the VMAs announced their first round of performers including Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro.
The 2024 VMAs last week announced the nominees for this year’s awards. Taylor Swift leads with 10 nominations, followed by Post Malone with nine and Ariana Grande, Eminem and Carpenter with six each.
ABC, which is hosting the presidential debate, revealed last week that both Harris and Trump have committed to the Tuesday, Sept. 10 debate, the fate of which had been up in the air after Trump seemed reluctant to participate in the face-off that had been set up in May with President Joe Biden, who was then the Democratic presidential candidate. Biden dropped his re-election bid last month and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee. Last week, she secured the necessary delegates to be the Democratic nominee.
More to come.
