But we're in for a treat regardless with performances from Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, BTS, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Maluma and Roddy Ricch.
Set to debut her new single Midnight Sky, Miley Cyrus has given fans a sneak peek as to what they can expect to see when she hits the stage.
No stranger to the VMAs โ her 2013 performance featuring Robin Thicke is forever etched in our minds โ Cyrus gave a more stripped back performance last year following her split with Liam Hemsworth.
But 2020 is a new year and she's back. And if her music video for her catchy new tune is anything to go by we're probably in for a stage filled with bright animal statues, multi-coloured balloons and confetti.
Red carpet action seems a bit limited this year, with celebs instead posing at a socially distanced media wall.
