This year Billboard Music Awards’ stage is going to be rocked by many mesmerizing performances!  On Monday, the next lineup which included five stars, was set to perform along with some golden performers. The night of the event will for sure be an eventful one, hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs. Some of these names are not strange to your knowledge. Becky G, Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, Miranda Lambert, and Elle King are joined with the previous list. 

Becky G will make her first performance ever at The Billboard Music Awards from the Xfinity stage, while Ed Sheeran, who is a nominee for precisely nine awards will perform from afar in Belfast, North Ireland. Lambert and King will carry the stage and perform their duet, Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home), which is nominated for the Top Rock Song category. Meanwhile, Scott, who is one of the nominees for the Top Dance/Electric Song category for his Goosebumps remix, will bring about a “memorable” performance though no additional details have been disclosed.

More performances include Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Rauw Alejandro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Burna Boy, as well as this year’s Icon Award recipient, Mary J. Blige, at the event. After winning the Top Rap Female Artist at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, Megan Thee Stallion will deliver her first performance at the 2022 BBMAs, which also will happen to be her second time being nominated for the Top Rap Female Artist. In the same category as Megan Thee Stallion, the uprising rapper and also first-time performer, Latto, whose song Big Energy recently managed to be included in the top 10 hits of Billboard Hot 100. Not only that, Latto was also granted a special chance to have a remix version of her song with Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled.

Alejandro’s performance will also honor the Puerto Rican-born singer’s BBMA debut, and he’s in the line for winning four categories: Top Latin Artist, Top Latin Male Artist, Top Latin Album for VICE VERSA, and Top Latin Song for “Todo De Ti”. Unfortunately, Burna Boy isn’t a nominee for even one category, but the Nigerian-innate international megastar will perform at this year’s BBMAs for the first time ever, following his current Best World Music Album win at the 2022 Grammys for his fifth studio record, 2020’s Twice as Tall.

Just came out after the release of their 12th studio album Unlimited Love, Red Hot Chili Peppers will be back on the BBMAs stage to perform for the first time since 23 years ago in which the band had performed a remix of “Scar Tissue” from their Californication album with Snoop Dogg. 

The award event will be Scott’s second live performance since the catastrophe that took place at his music concert Astroworld last November, which for the most part kept him out of the spotlight. The concert caused indescribable damage that left ten people dead and hundreds injured.

Over the weekend, the rapper who has been in a long-term relationship with Kylie Jenner performed alongside Migos’ Quavo during the Miami Grand Prix weekend at E11Even Miami.

On January 26, the Texas Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation granted a motion to combine nearly 400 lawsuits — filed by organizers and victims — into one for a single judge, according to Billboard. Nearly 2,800 victims will be represented under the suit, which seeks billions of dollars in damages and alleges negligence in the planning and managing of the music festival.

Scott requested the dismissal of multiple lawsuits against him in December 2021. In the filings, the rapper and his company “generally” denied the allegations made in the suits.

The Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast live on May 15 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas at 8 p.m. (local time) on NBC and Peacock.
