BET Awards 2015 add The Weeknd and Alicia Keys to their list of performers.

The BET Awards may be a few days away, but they’re still rolling out the performers you can expect at this year’s event. After announcing Chris Brown and Kendrick Lamar would take the stage, and then following that up with Meek Mill and Ne-Yo, the latest pair to be announced are The Weeknd and Alicia Keys.

The Weeknd is prepping a new album, led by singles “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills,” while Ms. Keys has been pretty silent, but she is putting together her first album since 2012. This performance will also be her first since giving birth to her son, Genesis, with husband Swizz Beatz.

Alongside these artists, Big SeanRobin Thicke, and Janelle Monáe will also perform. The awards show takes place on Sunday June 28th, and will be aired live at 8 PM.
