Linkin Park's addition to the 2024 Billboard Music Awards lineup is a significant event. As documented in a September Billboard cover story by executive director of music Jason Lipshutz, the surviving members made their long-awaited musical return in 2024. They welcomed vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, and dropped a new album, From Zero, in November. This comeback serves as a fitting cap to an explosive year for the group.
Their music has always been a force to be reckoned with, and with this new album, they are ready to captivate audiences once again. The energy and passion that Linkin Park brings to the stage are unmatched, and fans are excited to see them perform at the BBMAs.
Fuerzo Regida, Tyla, Teddy Swims, K-pop phenoms Stray Kids and SEVENTEEN, and country stars Shaboozey, Jelly Roll and Megan Moroney are also set to grace the stage at the 2024 BBMAs. These artists have all made significant strides on the Billboard charts in 2024.
For example, Shaboozey achieved a record-tying 19-week reign at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”. Meanwhile, the “Chk Chk Boom” unit became the first group to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with its first five charting albums in August. Their performances at the BBMAs are sure to be highlights of the evening.
The 2024 BBMAs will be hosted by Michelle Buteau and will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox and Fire TV channels. Viewers can also catch the performances on-demand on Paramount+. As the performances are uploaded on Billboard.com and via @BBMAs and @Billboard social channels, fans can watch them back at their convenience.
Zach Bryan, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Sabrina Carpenter are the leading finalists for awards, adding to the excitement of the event. With so many talented artists set to perform, the 2024 Billboard Music Awards are sure to be a night to remember.
