MTV has announced that this year’s Video Music Awards will take place at the Los Angeles’ The Forum on August 24, 2014.
Not only does this mark the show’s return to the West Coast, but also marks the first major awards show to be held at the newly-revamped venue. Take a look at what James T. Butts , mayor of Inglewood, had to say below:
“I am thrilled to welcome the MTV Video Music Awards to the Forum in Inglewood. Since its reopening in January, the ‘Fabulous’ Forum has become the destination for music-lovers in Southern California. A truly historic location, and home to some of the greatest concerts and sporting events, the Forum is back, better than ever and ready to shine for decades more. We are truly excited to shine a spotlight on the reinvented Forum and our great city.”
President of MTV, Stephen Friedman went on to add:
“With its incomparable legacy as a world class music venue, the Forum is one of Southern California’s most iconic entertainment landmarks. The Forum has hosted some of the most legendary musical artists and performances ever seen and we can’t wait to add the 2014 Video Music Awards to this list and create the type of memorable moments that music fans will talk about for years to come.”
Last year’s event took place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, and featured performances from Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis , and one of the most talked about performances in the past 10 years, Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke . Are you ready for this year’s event?
