As announced across social media on Tuesday (April 21), KATSEYE is set to perform at the 52nd American Music Awards. The group has three nominations – new artist of the year, best music video for “Gnarly” and breakthrough pop artist.
Among groups or duos, only Fuerza Regida has more AMA nods this year (five). With their three nods, KATSEYE is in a five-way tie for second place with BTS, HUNTR/X, The Marías and Sleep Token.
KATSEYE is coming off another high-profile performance gig — at Coachella. The girl group is currently a five-piece (Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae) while bandmate Manon is on a temporary hiatus.
Queen Latifah will host the annual special, which airs live coast-to-coast on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+. Latifah has a long history with the AMAs, having co-hosted the show in 1995 with Tom Jones and Lorrie Morgan.
The 52nd American Music Awards will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Memorial Day for the second year in a row. Tickets are now available on AXS. Nominations for the 52nd American Music Awards were announced on April 14. Fan voting opened the same day and will remain open until May 8.
Last year’s 51st American Music Awards reached over 10 million unique viewers across its CBS and Paramount+ premiere and encores on MTV, CMT and BET. The CBS broadcast marked the show’s largest audience since 2019 with a +38% increase over its last live airing in 2022 on ABC.
The American Music Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.
