Mack, Lewis and Mars join a roster of performers that includes Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus, among others. The event will air live on Sunday August 25 at 9pm ET/PT. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis released their debut album, The Heist, in October 2012. The album featured Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and Mary Lambert, among others. The Heist went gold this year, according to RIAA certification records. The album singles also earned RIAA awards with "Can't Hold Us" hitting platinum and "Thrift Shop" going multi-platinum. On August 9, ScHoolboy Q made surprising comments about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The TDE rapper said that Mack & Lewis should win the VMA for Best Hip Hop Video instead of his fellow Top Dawg, Kendrick Lamar.
