MTV VMAs 2016 Performers: Who’s Performing at the Awards Tonight?

MTV VMAs 2016 Performers

The VMAs is an event filled with surprises, fierce collaborations in music and sometimes, the most talked about moments of the year. Tonight at 9 p.m. ET is the live broadcast of the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards on MTV with appearances made by Jimmy Fallon, Kim Kardashian West, Alicia Keys and many other big names. While the VMAs have delivered crazy moments over the years, Radio Personality Matt Pinfield recently talked about what he feels the VMAs have become. In an interview with the LA Times, Pinfield explained: [The VMAs] used to create pop culture and now it’s chasing it. It’s following the trends. It’s fun as a show, but it’s not what it was back when Madonna did “Like a Virgin” ... what was happening there was changing the world. It was changing the musical landscape at that period of time. And it’s not anymore. But the reason why people still want to watch it or be a part of it is because at the end of the day, it’s still about that love for music. Keeping in mind the concept of a "love for music," let's talk about the performances that are set for tonight's show. Click through our gallery for the rundown on each performer, along with the rumors. (MTV)
