The Chainsmokers

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

The MTV Video Music Awards are only a few days away, and fans could already look forward to performances by Britney Spears and G-Eazy, Ariana Grande with Nicki Minaj, Nick Jonas featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Future, and Rihanna.

But things just got even more delectable, because MTV announced today (Aug. 25) that The Chainsmokers will also join the cast of performers alongside Halsey to give a stirring rendition of their Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Closer.” Grab your tissues. Get your Snapchats ready. It's going to be a #moment.

Don't forget, “Don't Let Me Down” is also nominated for Best Electronic Video. It's been a big year for The Chainsmokers. It's only about to get bigger.

The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
