The 2024 Billboard Music Awards are set to air on December 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox (or on-demand via Paramount+). Aside from the awards themselves, the broadcast will also feature performances, and now we’re getting a clearer idea of who’s involved.

Today (December 4), it was revealed that Coldplay has joined the show. This news follows the announcements of Seventeen, Teddy Swims, and Tyla as performers earlier this week.

Coldplay is a finalist in a pair of categories this year: Top Duo/Group and Top Rock Touring Artist. It seems like they have a good shot in at least the latter category, considering their Music Of The Spheres tour has brought in about a billion dollars (not hyperbole) as the highest-grossing rock tour ever.

Meanwhile, both Swims and Tyla are in the running for a number of awards. Tyla is up for Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Female Artist, Top Afrobeats Artist, Top R&B Album (for Tyla), Top R&B Song (for “Water”), and Top Afrobeats song (for “Truth Or Dare,” “Water,” AND “Jump” with Gunna and Skillibeng). As for Swims, he’s a finalist for Top New Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Hot 100 Song, Top Streaming Song, Top Radio Song, Top Selling Song, Top Billboard Global 200 Song, and Top Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.) Song (all for “Lose Control”). Seventeen is also up for Top K-Pop Touring Artist.

Megan Thee Stallion is set to headline the first-ever year of the new LA3C music festival, alongside Snoop Dogg, Maluma, and Seventeen on the lineup. Taking place on December 10 and 11 at Los Angeles’ State Historic Park, the Penske Media-created fest will showcase a range of creators in varied artistic mediums.

Megan will be the headliner on December 10, with Maluma on the second day. A full programming schedule for the new event will be released soon. LA3C — which stands for Los Angeles, the Capital of Culture and Creativity — “aims to connect people and communities by showcasing LA’s range of multicultural food and art from some of the world’s most talented artists,” per Variety (which is ran by Penske Media).

“I have always been inspired by Los Angeles, its people, its vibrancy, its diversity, and its creativity,” the company’s CEO Jay Penske shared in a statement. “We are proudly building an event with a significant long-term vision. Right now, being together in person means so much to us all. Our event will be a place to celebrate and give back to this incredible city and the people who make it so unique.”

“We believe that Los Angeles is a place where people come to pursue their creative passions and a place where talent, diversity and culture thrive,” LA3C’s chief executive Juan Mora added. “Our programming is meant to reflect our community and to create an inclusive environment where all feel welcome.”

While the LA3C had previously been scheduled for December 2021, it was postponed from the pandemic and moved to 2022. There are currently three ticketed tiers available, including GA, GA+, and VIP.
