Overview
- The VMAs are scheduled for Sept. 27 at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, and Snoop Dogg will serve as both host and an executive producer for the live telecast.
- CBS will air the show live in the U.S. with a simulcast on MTV and live streaming on Paramount+ Premium, with global availability on Paramount+ and MTV the following day.
- Nirvana has been named this year’s Video Vanguard honoree, while performers, presenters and special guests will be announced in the weeks leading up to the broadcast.
- Snoop brings a long VMA history to the role — he is a 13-time nominee with three wins and has delivered several memorable past performances that outlets cite as the basis for calling his booking a 'full-circle' moment.
- The telecast is produced by Gunpowder & Sky with Van Toffler among the lead producers, and MTV’s choice to return the show to the West Coast signals a push toward legacy-driven moments and high-profile nominees such as Madonna and Taylor Swift.
