One Direction to perform at 2012 VMAs - Video

One Direction will be performing at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards on September 6, 2012. I am so excited!

Alicia Keys is also set to perform. Other acts have yet to be named.

From MTV:

"We're really looking forward to the VMAs," Liam Payne told MTV News. "It's quite nerve-racking as well, because obviously there's been so many historical moments and stuff that have happened at the VMAs. Now we want to make a moment ourselves, but who knows?"

"I think performing at the VMAs is such a huge occasion," Payne said. "I think it ranks up there with one of the best performances we'll do so far."

"It's a big occasion to perform at the VMAs, and we're here for our fans," Harry Styles noted. "So this one's for our fans."
