Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, Kelly Clarkson and 16-year-old pop punker Shiloh will perform at this year's MuchMusic Video Awards.

The acts join previously announced performer Lady GaGa and performers/co-hosts the Jonas Brothers at the June 21 awards show, which will air live from MuchMusic headquarters in Toronto.

"We are all very excited about being the worst looking band playing the MMVAs this year!" Alexisonfire guitarist/singer Wade MacNeil says. "We will be lip synching a song from our brand new album Old Crows/Young Cardinals."

Billy Talent will play "Rusted From The Rain," the first single from their upcoming third album, the very creatively titled Billy Talent III, at the show. The clip for the track is up for a best international video by a Canadian artist or group award.

Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" is up for best international video by an artist, and Shiloh's "Goodbye, You Suck" is in the running for the UR FAVE new artist award.

More MMVA performers and presenters will be announced shortly.
