Miley Cyrus is to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards 2020.

The 27-year-old singer will sing her newly-released track, 'Midnight Sky', at the virtual ceremony on August 30.

The likes of Lady Gaga, The Weeknd and BTS are also set to perform, with even more artists to be announced for the lineup in the coming days.

The artists are set to perform at an outdoor location after it was announced that the ceremony will no longer be held at the Barclays Center, due to "safety concerns" amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Elsewhere, this year's nominations are led by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande with nine nods each.
