Furtado, Wayne to perform at VMAs

Gym Class Heroes, Common, T-Pain, Cee-Lo, and Daniel Merriweather also added to list of performers for Sept. 9 awards show in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas will have one star-studded batch of house guests for this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

MTV unveiled its next tier of performers for the annual awards show, with Nelly Furtado, Lil' Wayne, Gym Class Heroes, Common, T-Pain, Cee-Lo, and Daniel Merriweather all set to play the event. The VMAs will air live from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on September 9 at 9 p.m. ET, with MTV News' preshow beginning at 8 p.m.

That group joins a previously announced lineup that includes Timbaland, Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Chris Brown, Amy Winehouse, Foo Fighters, and Rihanna. In addition, Timbaland will put his match-making skills to work, serving as the show's "maestro" and overseeing a number of collaborations.

Timbaland is also set to cohost the event's Fantasy Suite party with Justin Timberlake, and DJ Mark Ronson will man the ones and twos inside the Palms' Pearl Theatre, where he'll be performing with a full horn section, members of Winehouse's Dap-Kings backing band, and several unannounced special guests.
