Lady Gaga named opening act for MTV Video Music Awards

Lady Gaga is set to open this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

The 'You And I' singer is tipped to perform a medley of tracks from her latest album 'Born This Way' including the title track, 'Judas' and 'Edge Of Glory'. 

Speaking to MTV News, Gaga said: "I have a really big announcement, but I thought as usual, instead of me announcing it, I'd let the Little Monsters do it for me."

On opening the ceremony, she added: "It means the world to me. I just feel really blessed every day. I have the most amazing fans."

The 'Born This Way' hitmaker is nominated for four awards on the night including: Best Female Video for 'Born This Way', Best Art Direction for 'Judas', Best Choreography for 'Judas' and Best Video With a Message for Born This Way'.

Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars are also scheduled to be performing at the event, which takes place on Sunday, August 29.
