The line-up of performers for the upcoming 2012 MTV Video Music Awards just got a little hotter.
MTV News confirmed Monday (Aug 27) that five-time VMA nominee Rihanna will be hitting the VMA stage in September, along with R&B newcomer Frank Ocean, which marks the latter’s very first awards show performance.
Previously announced performers for the 2012 VMAs include Taylor Swift, Green Day, Pink, One Direction, and Alicia Keys.
Additionally, 2 Chainz, Ke$ha, The Wanted, Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg are among the new confirmed presenters for the show, joining previously announced presenters Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, Miley Cyrus and the “Fierce Five” — the U.S. Women’s Olympics Gymnastics Team that won the team gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards — hosted by comedian Kevin Hart — will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on September 6th at 8 pm EST.
