The upcoming 2024 MTV Video Music Awards signify a highly anticipated gathering within the music industry, uniting top artists and fans to applaud remarkable achievements in music video production.
Set to occur on September 11, 2024, at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, the event will highlight the most innovative and influential music videos, artists, and songs released throughout the past year.
As detailed by PUNCH Online, the MTV Video Music Awards serves as a ceremony presented by MTV to recognize excellence in the music video medium.
The 2024 MTV VMAs are expected to be a star-studded affair, featuring numerous nominees from established industry heavyweights like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Megan Thee Stallion to emerging talents such as Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Gracie Abrams.
The VMAs will air on Wednesday, September 11, with the main event starting at 8:00 p.m. ET, preceded by red carpet activities. The date change from September 10 was strategized to avoid overlapping with the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
