Dua Lipa, Ciara and Missy Elliott to perform at 2018 American Music Awards

Ciara, Missy Elliott and Dua Lipa have been added to the American Music Awards lineup, Dick Clark Productions and ABC announced on Friday.
Taking the AMAs stage for the first time, Dua Lipa will perform two songs from her self-titled 2017 debut album, including 'Electricity,' her latest Billboard Hot 100 collaboration. Since its debut, the popular house track has landed spots amongst Billboard’s Dance Club Songs, Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Pop Songs airplay charts.

Elliott will be a featured guest on two Ciara songs — 'Level Up' released earlier this year, and 'Dose' from her forthcoming album. This highly anticipated performance marks Ciara's first time on the AMA stage since 2005.
The three artists join previously announced performers Cardi B (featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin), Benny Blanco, Halsey, Khalid, Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, and Post Malone featuring Ty Dolla Sign. There will also be a tribute to Aretha Franklin, who passed away in July.

The event, hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 9 at 8 pm EDT on ABC. The American Music Awards winners are voted entirely by fans. Voting is now open in all categories.
