Sin City just got a little bit glitzier! A new batch of A-listers has been added to take the stage at the Billboard Music Awards, including Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown, Icona Pop and Ed Sheeran
Those four will perform on their own when the awards hit the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 19, but it’s the team-ups that are bound to heat up the night. Nicki Minaj will be joined by fellow Young Money star Lil Wayne (hopefully Weezy’s hospitalization for seizures earlier this week doesn’t keep him from the stage). Meanwhile, David Guetta, Ne-Yo and Akon are also confirmed to perform together for the show.
Already-announced performers include Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Selena Gomez, the Band Perry, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Kacey Musgraves, as well as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and Miguel. It’s not the first time Gomez and Macklemore have performed at the same awards show: Just last month, they both dazzled at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, where they performed in front of Hollywood heavyweights like Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper.
