The performers join a long list that already includes Will Smith and Ice Spice

Culture's biggest night just got bigger!

BET announced on Friday, June 28, that six performers have been added to the list of live performances at the 2024 BET Awards airing Sunday night, June 30: Chl?e, Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover), Keke Palmer, Summer Walker, Marsha Ambrosius and Coco Jones.

The stars will join a list of performers that already includes Tyla and Ice Spice, Ms. Lauryn Hill and her son, YG Marley, and rising country star Tanner Adell, the network previously announced.

The network previously announced that R&B legend Usher will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of his "ever-growing musical legacy" live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night. A tribute performance comes along with the honor, though the singers who will honor the "Burn" singer with his own songs have yet to be announced.

Taraji P. Henson will host the awards ceremony for the third year in a row and will be joined on stage by presenters like Andra Day, Colman Domingo, Niecy Nash-Betts and DC Young Fly.

"The performances are going to blow us all away. We got Will Smith, guys. I am so excited to see what he has up his sleeve," Henson, 53, said of the Bad Boys: Ride or Die star, 55.
