Today, MTV announced the nominees for the Video Music Awards, to be held in New York City on September 13. As expected, big-name pop divas like Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Britney Spears lead the pack with multiple nominations, but in a surprising twist, some of our favorite artists were recognized in the “Breakthrough Video” category. Aside from Major Lazer (whose video for “Hold the Line” is streamed above), Cold War Kids, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Passion Pit were also nominated.

Karen O came out in that crazy getup during the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Friday night set. They opened with their new single “Heads Will Roll” and kept the energy high until slowing it down with an acoustic version of “Maps”.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will replace the Beastie Boys as headliners at Lolapalooza next week in Chicago.
