The performance slate runs deep, with RAYE, LISA, Sienna Spiro, GENER8ION with Yung Lean, and Shaboozey with Gunna among the artists headed to the stage. The night will also make room for special tributes and a few big premiere moments, so there should be plenty happening between Moon Person handoffs.
