TORONTO \u2014 Lorde is headed to this year’s IHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards \u2014 but whether her lamp will make an encore performance remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand-raised musician is among the first round of artists announced for the televised street party in Toronto on June 18.<\/p>\n

It marks Lorde’s second time at the MMVAs.<\/p>\n

The singer created a viral moment at the event in 2014 when she prominently featured a floor lamp in her performance of hits \u201cTeam\u201d and \u201cTennis Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The moment caught fire on social media and inspired the Twitter account \u201cLordesLamp\u201d in response to the unusual performance.<\/p>\n

Other artists slated to perform include Iggy Azalea, \u201cCake By the Ocean\u201d singers DNCE, and Imagine Dragons, known for their massive hits \u201cRadioactive\u201d and \u201cDemons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rounding out the first wave of performers is Toronto-based Jazz Cartier, fresh off his Juno Awards win for best rap recording, and Julia Michaels, whose single \u201cIssues\u201d is climbing the upper echelons of the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

The MMVAs will air on Much, CTV and stream through the IHeartRadio app. Nominees and a host for the awards show will be announced in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
