For MTV’s marketing team, today’s priority seems to be the 2016 Video Music Awards pre-show.

Shortly after confirming DJ Khaled as one of the co-hosts, the network revealed that Alessia Cara, Jidenna and Lukas Graham will perform during the broadcast.

MTV also noted that Lizzo and Charlamagne will join DJ Khaled as co-hosts.

Set to air from 8-9PM ET, the pre-show leads directly into the 2016 VMAs ceremony.

The event takes place this Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
