After trickling out names for a bit (and noting Kanye will take home the Video Vanguard Award), MTV released its list of VMA performers late Tuesday, and they are in this graphic. For those of you who cannot read graphics (and for the sake of the search bots), they are The Weeknd, Pharrell, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Demi Lovato, Tori Kelly and Twenty One Pilots with A$AP Rocky.

On Thursday it was announced that Nicki Minaj would open the show.

See you for the viewing party on Sunday night; we'll bring the Moon Pies.

Also, is that "green screen" color making you slightly dizzy too, or is it just us?

If you'd like to experience the announcement in semi-animated form, here ya go:
