Get Ready: The 2018 VMAs Are Officially Invading New York City

It's official: For the initial time since 2016, the VMAs are returning to New York City. The 2018 awards will hit Radio City Music Hall on August 20 immediately after per year away in the Los Angeles sun.


Although you know what heading back to the Big Apple means — it is almost time to celebrate!


All day Tuesday (April 17), MTV is charging through numerous city boroughs to spread the good news. Soon after planting a flag on the moon at Radio City — the site of 12 VMA shows, including the inaugural ceremony in 1984 — the Moon Person will catch the initial pitch at tonight's Mets game. And in between, there's so much sightseeing to do.


Of course, it's still only spring, and each person understands VMA season isn't flawlessly in full swing up until the summer. We're only several months out, though, so stay tuned to find out the 2018 nominees, performers, and everything else that goes into making the VMAs the ultimate party.


In the meantime, it's never also early to begin celebrating.
