TOMORROW X TOGETHER set to make their MTV Video Music Awards performance debut this month

K-Pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) are set to perform on one of the grandest platforms of pop culture this month, with the band confirmed as a live performer at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards later this month. 

Their announcement followed a second wave of acts confirmed for the show, including Doja Cat, Lil Wayne and Kelsea Ballerini, joining earlier announcements Demi Lovato, Karol G, Måneskin and fellow K-Pop group Stray Kids.

What sets TXT's performance apart is their collaboration with Brazilian singer Anitta, marking a significant milestone as the "first K-pop band to perform a genre-blending collaboration" at the VMAs; organisers hope the distinctive performance aims to engage audiences through an innovative fusion of musical styles, promising to be a standout moment in the show and an additional nod to the global success K-Pop is experiencing currently.

Not content with merely performing, TXT are also up for two coveted VMAs awards: Push Performance of the Year and Best K-Pop, as fans eagerly anticipate the group's live rendition of a pre-release single from their upcoming full-length album, "The Name Chapter: FREEFALL," scheduled for release on October 13.

It marks a return to the United States for the group, having wowed audiences with their performance at the 2023 Lollapalooza festival on August 5 2023, continuing on from their North American success this year after the completion of their ACT: SWEET MIRAGE tour back in May of this year.

When is the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards being screened?

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards is set to air live on September 12 at 8pm ET (12am September 13 2023 BST) through MTV and MTV.com, with an encore screening set to take place on Channel 5 at a later date.
