The countdown for the Billboard Music Awards 2021 (BBMAs) has begun. The prestigious event will be aired live from Microsoft Theater on Sunday, 23 May. Last year, it was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but this time, the awards ceremony is being held as per the schedule.
BBMAs' Performers Lineup
The BBMAs has an interesting line-up of performers. BTS, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Sounds Of Blackness and Ann Nesby, Pop trio AJR, Twenty One Pilots, Glass Animals, DJ Khaled, H.E.R. and Migos, Duran Duran, Blur's Graham Coxon, The Weeknd, and Icon Award recipient Pink will set the stage on fire.
Two days after launching their forthcoming single 'Butter', BTS make their television debut of this track at the BBMAs from Korea itself.
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis are joining hands with Sounds Of Blackness and Ann Nesby to perform their number 'Optimistic.' Their performance will go live from Prince's Paisley Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Pop trio AJR and Glass Animals will be making their debuts at the BBMAs by performing to their hit singles 'Bang' and 'Way Less Sad' and 'Heat Waves', respectively.
Twenty One Pilots will be giving a performance for their hit single 'Shy Away', while DJ Khaleed, H.E.R. and Migos are teaming up for their latest single 'We Going Crazy.'
