The 2016 VMAs will be held at Madison Square Garden
For the first time in its 33-year history, the MTV Video Music Awards will be held at New York's Madison Square Garden.
"We are excited that MTV will bring the VMAs back to its original home of New York City,” said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. “From the red carpet to the accolades to the performances -- and everything in between -- the VMAs are an incredible showcase for so many talented artists."
Aug. 28 will mark the 16th time the VMAs have aired from New York, including the first-ever broadcast in 1984 and most recently in 2013 when the awards show was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
