NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2011 -- GRAMMY® Award-winning artists Kanye West and Maroon 5 will perform on THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW, to be broadcast Tuesday, Nov. 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Supermodels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Lindsay Ellingson, and a bevy of other Victoria's Secret Angels will star in this lingerie runway show, which will also include red carpet interviews, model profiles and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the world's most celebrated fashion show. The runway looks will include over-the-top lingerie embellished with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, iconic Angel wings and the much-anticipated Fantasy Bra.

Kanye West is a musician, producer, artist, author and designer. He has sold over 16 million albums and over 40 million digital tracks worldwide. Over the course of his career, he has had five consecutive #1 albums and seven #1 singles, along with scores of radio hits. West has garnered 36 GRAMMY Award nominations and has won 14 GRAMMY Awards, along with numerous other awards and accolades.

Capturing their first of three GRAMMY Awards as "Best New Artist" of 2005 and going on to sell more than 15 million albums worldwide, Maroon 5 won over fans and critics alike with their hybrid rock/R&B sound. In 2010, the band released their third studio album "Hands All Over," which spawned the GRAMMY nominated single "Misery." The nod marked the group's seventh nomination overall and 4th in that category. Most recently Maroon 5's smash hit "Moves Like Jagger" climbed to the #1 spot on the Top 40 and Hot AC charts and also claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. With the single's success on the Hot 100 chart, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine became the first artist in the chart's 53-year history to reach #1 as part of a group and enter the Top 10 at the same time as a soloist, as he is also featured on Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Heart."  Maroon 5's releases have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries around the world, including Hands All Over, which was certified gold by the RIAA in December 2010. In addition, frontman Adam Levine joined the lineup of celebrity coaches on "The Voice".

These performances will mark the artists' first appearance on THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW.

THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW is being produced by Done and Dusted, Inc. Edward G. Razek, Monica Mitro, Ian Stewart and Hamish Hamilton are the executive producers. Hamish Hamilton is the director.
