For the first time since 2019, MTV’s Video Music Awards will take place in New Jersey. Over the weekend, the Viacom property announced that this year’s event will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on August 28, 2022. Much like last year’s event, this year’s award show is expected to be held with a live audience.
“We are thrilled to be back in New Jersey for this year’s VMAs live from Prudential Center. Our 2019 show in Newark was undoubtedly one of our biggest and most successful shows yet and we’re excited to bring back the incredible fan energy for one of music’s most anticipated and iconic nights,” Bruce Gillmer of Paramount told Variety.
“Our state has a proud history of supporting the arts and is always seeking opportunities to partner with the entertainment industry to promote economic development and cultural appreciation. On behalf of New Jersey, we welcome VMA performers and attendees alike to our great state,” New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy added.
MTV has not revealed this year’s slate of nominees or announced who will host this year’s event. Stay tune for more details.
