Multi-platinum Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees Red Hot Chili Peppers have been booked as one of the musical performers at next month’s ‘Billboard Music Awards‘. Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Burna Boy and more will also take to the stage at that awards ceremony, which will be live broadcast from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV on May 15th.

twenty one pilots
