The 2024 Video Music Awards (VMAs) are gearing up for an unforgettable night with rap legend Eminem scheduled to perform the opening act. Set against the backdrop of the state-of-the-art UBS Arena in New York, on Wednesday, September 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, this performance marks Eminem’s grand return to the VMA stage, an event that has historically showcased some of his most iconic moments.
After a decade-long hiatus since his last opening at the VMAs, Eminem is poised to deliver a show-stopping rendition from his twelfth studio album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).” Released just weeks before, the album has not only soared to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 but has also reignited the embers of Eminem’s fiery stage presence, reminiscent of his groundbreaking performances in the early 2000s.
Eminem’s relationship with the VMAs is a storied one, marked by a series of memorable performances that have left an indelible mark on the music industry. From his dramatic entrance with “Not Afraid” and the emotionally charged duet “Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna in 2010 to his collaboration with Snoop Dogg in 2022, Eminem’s performances have often been the highlight of the VMAs.
This year, Eminem is not just a performer but also a top nominee, with eight nominations that underscore his continued relevance and influence in the music world. These include nods for Video of the Year, Best Hip-Hop, and Artist of the Year, placing him in the running to become the most decorated male artist in VMA history.
The stage is set for a night of stellar performances, with Megan Thee Stallion as the host and other luminaries like Katy Perry, who will be honored with the Video Vanguard Award. The lineup boasts a blend of established names and emerging talents, ensuring a dynamic spectacle reflective of the current musical landscape.
As the VMAs promise to bridge the gap between music legends and contemporary chart-toppers, all eyes will be on Eminem as he reclaims the spotlight, potentially setting new records and once again defining his legacy in an ever-evolving industry.
